When he was in his early 70s, my father was diagnosed with cancer.
Starting this week, your community news site is adding a lot more community.
It’s been a tough couple of weeks here in the Bellevue Reporter newsroom. We’ve been stretched pretty thin. Let me bring you up to date.
The inevitable happened last week. The Bellevue Reporter lost one of its best reporters – Carrie Wood.
Teachers went on strike here in Bellevue on Sept. 2.
No one likes a strike, certainly not one by school teachers. The one in Bellevue is particularly upsetting.
There’s no question that bicycles are popular around here. The Burke-Gilman and Sammamish River trails draw bicyclists (and walkers) daily. Redmond even has a velodrome for bicycle racing.
Tolls to cross Lake Washington could cost commuters $6.85 a round trip, be levied on both the I-90 and 520 bridges and change people’s decision to cross the bridge itself, according to a new study unveiled Wednesday in Bellevue.
