The Bellevue Economic Partnership’s 2009 New Employee Welcome Month is offering a month of discounts for over 2,000 employees new to downtown Bellevue.

Over 25 new downtown companies are represented, and over 60 downtown merchants will offer discounts. Employees will be able to shop and save at a wide range of establishments including restaurants, entertainment venues, salons/spas, and specialty retailers.

During the month of February, downtown merchants will offer their services and products at a discount of their choice to the employees of the businesses new to downtown. Eligible employees will be provided a list and map of all participating merchants along with details about the discounts offered and a discount card to present at participating merchants. Only employees of businesses new to downtown Bellevue in 2008 are eligible for the merchant discounts.

The Bellevue Economic Partnership (BEP) is a partnership of the Bellevue Chamber, Bellevue Downtown Association, city of Bellevue and Meydenbauer Center.
