Save the Date
Middle Housing Discussion – June 2
You are invited to attend a Middle Housing Conversation with City Council and Planners at Somerset Elementary. In 2023, HB1110 was approved with the intention of increasing housing diversity across Washington cities, including allowing multiple housing units on one lot. The Bellevue City Council will be voting on Bellevue’s plan for middle housing land use code proposal by June 30th. Horizon Crest neighborhood Codes, Covenants and Restrictions that restrict multiple housing units on one lot will still be valid. Check out Codes, Covenants and Restrictions (CC&Rs) – Horizon Crest Community Association for more details on Horizon Crest’s CCRs.
- June 2 @ 6:30 p.m. at Somerset Elementary Gym
Horizon Crest Neighborhood Clean Up Day – June 14
Join the Horizon Crest Community Association Board members to do sidewalk cleanup and vegetation maintenance. As a bonus, any time you spend volunteering with the HCCA may be counted towards community service hours for school aged kids and/or towards corporate giving programs. Bring work your work gloves!
- June 14 @ 10:00 a.m. at corner of SE 48th Drive and 152nd PL SE
Wildfire Preparedness Presentation – June 21
Wildfire season is just around the corner. And while we often think of wildfire as a rural threat, many of our urban neighborhoods, especially those near parks, greenbelts and open spaces, can be at serious risk. Join the Bellevue Fire Department at one, or both, of our upcoming wildland preparedness presentations to learn how you can protect your home and neighborhood from urban wildfires. All ages are welcome. Free. Questions? Contact Alex Dryer at adryer@bellevuewa.gov.

- June 21 2:00-4:00 p.m. at Lewis Creek Park, 5808 Lakemont Blvd SE
Horizon Crest Neighborhood Picnic – August 8
Mark your calendar for food, fun and connecting with neighbors. More information to come as we get closer to the date.

Being a Good Neighbor
We have received concerns from residents about the appearance of our neighborhood. Upkeeping your yard, sidewalks and keeping garbage cans out of site can help. See the linked PDF below for guidelines on expectations on how to maintain your property.
Volunteers Needed
We are looking for a few neighbors to help make our neighborhood better! If you have experience in communication, web design or other skills (even making balloon animals or face painting!) that would be helpful to the community, please email us at board@horizoncrest.com.
