A new poll shows people living in Bellevue feel the housing market is failing to meet their needs.
According to the Northwest Progressive Institute, which engaged Change Research to conduct the poll on its behalf — residents said there needs to be a stronger “hands-on” approach.
Some of the concerns were housing affordability — the need to commute — and more housing development. 46% said that housing affordability in Bellevue is a problem that has impacted them personally — and many took the time to share their stories. 24% said they know a senior who can’t find suitable housing to downsize and remain in the Bellevue community.
