The City of Bellevue has launched an update to the Bellevue Map Viewer - its interactive map platform. Members of the community can access more development and construction information, including building permits for new and altered single family and multifamily projects, right of ways, fire, utilities, and land use actions.

To explore the permit data layer, access Bellevue Map Viewer on the main Maps and GIS page, select the "Permits" layer and ZOOM in.

Statistics from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service, highlighted in the October Builder’s Bulletin, show an increasing supply of homes for sale in the month of August. King County had 1.92 months’ supply of inventory, up from 0.93 months’ supply a year ago. Snohomish County had 1.70 months of inventory, up from 1.11 a year ago. This increase in supply, while still low, has moderated price increases.

The Builders' Bulletin is intended to provide a convenient way to track housing in our market and includes information from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service, State of the Cities Data Systems, Office of Financial Management and the Washington State Employment Security Department.
