The City of Bellevue is urging residents to shop locally in recognition of Small Business Saturday, highlighting the crucial role small businesses play in the city’s economy. According to the city, small businesses account for 97% of all businesses in Bellevue, making them a vital part of the community.
City officials also announced the launch of a new suite of services aimed at helping both new and existing small businesses. The enhanced support program will be coordinated by Bellevue’s Cultural and Economic Development team and the Development Services Department, in partnership with the Washington Small Business Development Center.
The initiative is designed to provide entrepreneurs with free, strategic, and personalized assistance—whether they are looking to start a business or seeking guidance on current operations.
