Report illegal fireworks online July 4th

It’s time to celebrate our country’s 243rd birthday, but the 4th of July is also when we see a spike in fire danger, injuries, and noise complaints. To help reduce these problems, you’ll now be able to report illegal fireworks online or through the MY-BELLEVUE-icon-2016_1024x1024 (002)MyBellevue app on July 4th. The fireworks reporting section will be active from 8:00 p.m. on July 4th to 2:00 a.m. on July 5th. Here’s what you do to file a complaint:

  • Log onto the app on your phone or online at Bellevuewa.gov
  • Click on new request, fireworks reporting
  • Click issue location and add the address or move the pin
  • Click submit

Fireworks reporting heat map - CopyThe app will create a heat map that will show hot spots with the most activity, the Bellevue Police and Fire Departments will have dedicated crews responding to those areas on the evening of July 4th.  Please note, you will not get an individual reply, but your report will be documented.

Bellevue Fire Marshal Ken Carlson says this is a pilot program to improve the city’s response, “We see a significant increase in 911 calls on the 4th of July because of fireworks complaints.  Many times, the calls lack a specific address.  The app will allow residents to put in an address or drop the locator pin near the location. It will also reduce the number of 911 calls, leaving lines open for emergencies.”   You should still call 911 if there’s a fire, injury, or imminent threat of danger.

This year our fire danger is forecasted to be extremely high, so people need to be extra vigilant. And safety is always a concern, “Fireworks are dangerous. Every year people show up in emergency rooms with firework-related injuries,” adds Fire Marshal Carlson. “It’s just not worth the risk of getting hurt or starting a fire.”

Light_Wright_Twitter_WEBThe fine for lighting illegal fireworks in Bellevue is $1000. All fireworks are illegal in the city, except for permitted displays. We encourage you to celebrate at one of the public events on the Eastside. Here are a couple of fireworks shows:

Have a fun and safe 4th!

Bellevue police arrest two in Crossroads Park shooting

HAPPENING NOWBellevue police have arrested two suspects in connection with the weekend shooting in Crossroads Park.  Both male suspects, age 22 and 19-years-old are Bellevue residents.

Police originally responded to Overlake Hospital after two victims showed up with gunshot wounds just before midnight on June 22nd.   The 18 and 22-year-old male victims told investigators they were sitting in their car at the park when another car drove up, and the suspects shouted something out the window.  That verbal altercation escalated into a fight where one of the suspects fired a gun.  The two victims suffered serious foot and leg injuries.

Witnesses and the victims’ description lead detectives to narrow in on a few suspects. The 22-year-old suspect was arrested on assault charges, and the 19-year-old was arrested for rendering criminal assistance for driving the suspect from the scene.  Charges have been referred to the King County Prosecutor’s office.

Bellevue Police investigating two weekend shootings

Bellevue detectives are investigating two separate shootings this past weekend.   The first shooting occurred at Crossroads Park early Sunday morning.   Officers responded to Overlake Hospital just after midnight on June 23rd, after two people showed up at the hospital with gunshot wounds.   The 18 and 22-year-old victims told investigators that they were sitting in their car at the park when another car drove by.  There was an argument that escalated into a physical altercation where the suspect fired a gun.  The victims suffered serious injuries.  Detectives are actively pursuing leads in this case.

The second shooting happened at 1:30 a.m. on June 23rd in 100 Blk 109th Ave SE.  The occupants reported that someone was shooting into the home while they were sleeping.  Bellevue police were able to safely get the occupants out of the home and determine that an unknown suspect had shot multiple times at the house.  There were no injuries.

The Bellevue Police Department continues to investigate these shootings.  Anyone with information regarding either case is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or submit a tip online.

BPD Safe Place celebrates two years

BPDsafeThe Bellevue Police Department (BPD) Safe Place program now has over 60 businesses, schools, and organizations offering a safe and secure place for victims of hate crimes. Although Bellevue enjoys a low rate of violent crime, discrimination and crime related to the city’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ+) residents and visitors still occur. These locations throughout the city display the Safe Place signage and offer a place for anyone to seek help who feels they’ve been a victim of bias-related crimes.

While the rainbow flag traditionally means LGBTQ+, a BPD Safe Place is open to any victim of a bias-related crime or harassment.  “These locations are for anyone in any marginalized group that is a victim of a hate crime or harassment,” says Officer Molly McCormack the BPD Safe Place Program Administrator.  “Our goal is to reduce bullying, harassment, and violent hate crimes and to encourage the reporting of them.”

The BPD Safe Place partner organizations work closely with the Bellevue Police Department to offer assistance, such as calling 911, and protection for victims.  The program is open to businesses, places of worship, schools, and community buildings.  More information is available online, www.bpdsafeplace.com.
