Annexation initiative

Eastgate has tried to get annexed by Bellevue several times in the past. In 1990, the area citizens voted to annex to the city of Bellevue and won by a majority. On the same ballot there was an additional vote for Eastgate accepting a portion of Bellevue's bonded indebtedness. The area's voters rejected that measure. As a result, Bellevue chose not to incorporate Eastgate at that time. [19] Then in 2002, the state Supreme Court decision threw out the main method cities have used for decades to expand. [20] In addition, budget implications further postponed annexation of Eastgate with hopes of trying again in a year or two. [21] According to the 2004's Bellevue's Comprehensive plan, it is a policy to annex all land in the Potential Annexation Area expeditiously. [22] Discussions with Bellevue have been aided by the county's agreement to give the city Coal Creek Park and the Surrey Downs district court property. The city projected an operating deficit of $300,000. [23] [24] Later in November of the same year, a budget was proposed to develop urban design and development alternatives for the Eastgate area and to conduct the first major update of the Eastgate Subarea Plan in 14 years. The Mayor of Bellevue suggested working toward annexation of the remaining unincorporated portion of the Eastgate area and making an effort to update the subarea plan. He also asked staff to develop a cost estimate for annexing Eastgate. [25] The neighborhoods of Eastgate, Tamara Hills, and Horizon View were annexed by the City of Bellevue on June 1, 2012, adding "about 5,400 new residents, 1,850 residences and 700 acres" to Bellevue.
