2025 BDA Bellevue Council Candidate Forum:
Voices Shaping Bellevue’s Future
You're invited to hear directly from the candidates running for the five Bellevue City Council seats on this year's November ballot. At this forum you'll gain insights from the 10 candidates into their visions, priorities, and solutions for the challenges ahead. Join fellow downtown stakeholders to explore where each candidate stands on the key issues that will influence Bellevue’s growth, economic vitality, and overall quality of life. Stay engaged by reserving your spot today.
Kim Malcolm, host of KUOW's All Things Considered, will be the moderator for this event. The event will include a campaign fair where candidates can share additional information about their campaign priorities.
Campaign Fair (new feature)
Learning about 10 candidates in one morning can be a challenge. That’s why the BDA is launching its first-ever Campaign Fair—a dedicated networking space adjacent to the dining hall where attendees can learn more about about the campaign platforms before the forum begins.
