THANK YOU, Bellevue, WA Police Department!! We saw your officer directing traffic down at the CCPkwy/119th Ave SE intersection.

If this sign was the work of WSDOT or City of Bellevue, Washington - Government Streets Maintenance team we thank them as well.

I-405 closures have been hard on Newport Hills as we sit at the beginning AND end of re-routed traffic, which everyone's looking to avoid. Any help keeping that traffic "off the hill" is appreciated ❤️

FYI: STARTING TONIGHT @ 11:30

The Newcastle Way/Coal Creek Pkwy paving project is going to bu**er up southbound travel even more, so please plan for extra time.

Great things about FALL
* Beautiful colored foliage 🍁🍂
* Football 🏈
* End of road construction season 🚧

🚧 Weekend Closure Alert from WSDOT 🚧

⛔ Southbound I-405 will be closed from Coal Creek Parkway Southeast (Exit 10) to North 30th Street (Exit 6) from 11:30 p.m. Friday, September 25 to 4 a.m. Monday, September 28.

Plan ahead and expect delays! Crews with WSDOT will excavate drainage crossings, complete full pavement replacements and a traffic switch as part of the I-405/Renton to Bellevue Widening and Express Toll Lanes Project.

📢 CALLING ALL 📢

🔶 Teens needing community service hours
🔶 Adults with an hour or two to spare

Bad hip jokes aside, we could really use some help getting the Fall doorhanger distributed.

Doorhangers will be ready for distribution after 3 p.m. on Friday, October 2.
Distribution can take place any time between October 2 and Sunday, October 11.

No need to chat with anyone- this is an "attach & go" operation. Simply attach a doorhanger to each door within the assigned area utilizing the map included in the packet as a guide. Work alone or in pairs (each side of the street).

This is a super easy way for teens to earn volunteer hours for graduation. Get a jump on accruing hours if you're a freshman, and finish up those last couple of hours if you're a junior or senior. NHCC can help you while you help us!

Social Media Safety tip for upcoming 1st Day of School excitement!

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL PHOTOS: THINK BEFORE YOU SHARE!

As the new school year kicks off, many parents capture those precious “first day” moments. But before you post that adorable photo, take a moment to think about what’s really being shared.

Back-to-school pics can unintentionally reveal personal info that puts your child at risk. Even with tight privacy settings, it's smart to limit what details go public.

🚫 What NOT to Share in Back-to-School Photos:
❌ School name or logo
❌ Age or birthday
❌ Teacher’s name or grade level
❌ Identifying features (height, weight, etc.)
❌ Personal details that could relate to passwords/security questions

Safety Tip:
If your child’s sign, backpack, or clothing includes sensitive info, blur it out or cover it up before posting. A little caution goes a long way in keeping your family safe.

Snap smart. Share safely. Let’s make this school year a safe and joyful one!

IN CASE YOU HADN'T HEARD...

🚨SB I-405 CLOSURE (again)🚨

🕙 Starts TONIGHT @ 11:30 p.m., ends 4 a.m. Monday
🚧 Exits closed: Coal Creek Pkwy (Exit 10) to NE 30th St. (Exit 6)
➡️ Detour: Coal Creek Pkwy--> Duvall Ave NE-->Sunset Blvd NE

SB 405 closures aren't as bad as NB closures, but it's still smart to plan to either stay home or leave extra time to get out to the freeway.

If you're hunkering down on the hill on Sunday then walk, bike, roll, or drive over to Newport Hills Woodlawn Park picnic shelter for Music Nite featuring NH neighbors The DaddyOs. They'll be playing 5-7 p.m. and said they'd give periodic updates on the Seahawks game . Parking is limited on-site but there's plenty of parking nextdoor at Ringdall MS.

🚨NB I-405 closure this weekend🚨

🕙 Started 11:30 p.m. Friday, ends 4 a.m. Monday

🚧 Exits closed between N Southport Dr/Sunset Blvd (Exit 5) to Coal Creek Pkwy (Exit 10)

➡️Detour: Sunset Blvd NE--> Duvall Ave NE --> Coal Creek Pkwy

NORTHBOUND CLOSURES impact Newport Hills the most, especially in the NW section of the neighborhood (north of SE 60th, west of 119th Ave SE). During previous NB closures cut-thru traffic has clogged our streets, leaving NH residents unable to leave their homes.

If you witness dangerous traffic situations, including aggressive maneuvers by frustrated drivers, please call the BPD non-emergency line to report it and ask for traffic mitigation: (425) 577-5656 (NORCOM)

** Sorry about the late notice, Communications Committee members have been on vacation! **

05/06/2026

🚨Upcoming I--405 closures🚨
This weekend- Southbound
Next weekend- Northbound

See shared post below for details

Plan accordingly, neighbors.

An email will be sent to CoB Transportation & BPD asking for mitigations to keep cut-thru traffic out of the neighborhood but NHCC advocacy has worked only 1x previously. Fingers crossed 🤞🤞, otherwise we're looking at a traffic nightmare on the hill two weekends in a row.

Feel free to send your own request for mitigation, more requests= gets City Hall's attention.
