Made in Bellevue launches this Wednesday at The Meadow, bringing a new hands-on craft experience to Downtown Bellevue all summer long.

Located across from the Bellevue Transit Center and adjacent to Amazon’s B600 building, The Meadow is Downtown Bellevue’s newest open community space, an urban meadow designed to bring people together through art, nature, and seasonal programming.

This free drop-in series invites the community to get creative with seasonal projects ranging from mini herb gardens and succulent planters to PNW-inspired rock art, floral arranging, and fall pumpkin decorating. Each event features a different take-home craft designed to be approachable, fun, and easy to enjoy during the day.

Join in the fun every other Wednesday from June 3 through October 21 from 12–2 p.m. at The Meadow.

Made in Bellevue is bringing a fresh mix of quick, walk-up crafts to The Meadow. Drop in every other Wednesday and be ready to get creative and take home something you made.
