Blueberry U-Pick season arrives

Bellevue’s seasonal U-Pick blueberry and fresh produce stands are open at Mercer Slough, Larsen Lake and the Lake Hills Greenbelt.

Originally established in the 1940s, the Mercer Slough and Larsen Lake Blueberry farms are owned and managed by Bellevue Parks & Community Services to help preserve Bellevue’s agricultural heritage.

Blueberry picking is only permitted in designated areas during sales stand operating hours. Valid Washington state identification is needed as is a deposit for picking buckets. Both farms carry a wide variety of fresh seasonal produce, cut flowers and other agricultural products.
