If you’re looking for a cute shopping district, head across the river to Bellevue. There you’ll find cafes, restaurants, boutiques and adorable little shops. I met with Bellevue’s Marketing Director Jody Robinson for coffee this morning to learn about all the fun and fab events they have coming up!

For more info on businesses that are moving in or expanding to new spaces or to see what’s new in the area, check out their website.

They’ve also got a ton of great events going on this summer!

The first Friday in June will be an 80s themed ladies night following by a city-wide yard sale on Saturday.

In July you’ll get to check out Christmas in July and join the scavenger hunt to find the Santa.

Then in August head venture across the river for a Taste of Bellevue. The third Saturday in August will be Dog Days, where adoption organizations, rescue groups and pet accessories will be on site and many of the shops in Bellevue are very pet-friendly with bowls and treats.

The third Saturday in September will include Art in the Park at Bellevue Beach Park. The event will be September 14 from 11 a.m.5 p.m. and at 7 they’re hosting a concert featuring local musicians.
