BDA Annual Celebration

February 8, 2024

We can't thank you enough for all the support we received at our 49th Annual Celebration! Our gratitude goes out to the 400+ people who joined us to celebrate our thriving and vibrant Downtown. Here are our favorite highlights:

Jennifer Vey and Nate Storring's keynote conversation about Downtown Bellevue's Hyperlocal future moderated by Putter Bert! We learned that getting strategically messy can be the key to building a great Downtown.
We honored Ross Jacobson for his longtime civic work in Downtown Bellevue with the John Boespflug City Builder Award! Thank you to Sarah Langton for presenting the award.
New BDA Board Chair Trinity Parker (she/her), took the stage to recognize and welcome new board members as well as highlight how important it is to create an inclusive Downtown for all.
Finally, we told the stories of the many small businesses that have made a positive impact in our community.

Please save the date for this time next year for BDA's 50th Annual Celebration!
