Bellevue voters just passed a property tax increase for fire facilities with a 57% yes vote. It will build a new Station 10 in north downtown, replace stations 4 and 5, remodel station 6, perform seismic upgrades at all their other stations, build a logistics warehouse, and upgrade the training center.
The plan is to completely reorient the department, with the 2 Lightforces eventually moving to stations 4 and 6 once the upgrades are done, and the capability to add a third Lightforce downtown. My guess is that Medic 1 will move out of Overlake Hospital and into Station 10 when it is done, as it will be very close to Overlake.
