Excited
to
be
here
today
at
the
groundbreaking
of
another
link
station
that
will
now
connect
each
side,
communities
to
writer,
region,
support,
local
businesses,
create
jobs
and
help
our
computers
every
day.
For
a
very
long
time,
we
have
been
working
hard
to
build
and
expand
a
world-class
transit
system.

After
a
decade
of
planning
and
more
than
five
years
of
construction,
the
much-anticipated
520
floating
bridge
opened
in
april
with
an
official
ribbon-cutting
celebration
where
members
of
the
public
at
the
opportunity
to
walk
or
bike
across
the
newly
completed
bridge
after
a
six-year
absence.
Due

We
hosted
the
grand
connection
vision
shred.
It
was
a
partnership
with
the
bellevue
arts
museum
brought
together
about
80
urban
planners
architects,
artists,
designers,
to
kind
of
generate
visions
and
ideas
around
the
grand
connection.
I
believe
they
want
to
volunteer
their
time,
because
this
is
truly
a
transformative.
An
exciting
project
gives
them
an
opportunity
to
step
outside
of
the
box
and
think
a
little
more
creatively
without
the
the
reins
of
the
typical
architecture,
firm
conditions
here,
the
grand
connection
is
the
idea
of.
G
A
non-motorized
route
that
we
connect
made
in
our
bay
or
bellevue
the
downtown
park
downtown
itself
in
the
wilburton
commercial
area
that
would
prioritize
pedestrians
and
cyclists
through
urban
bellevue
and
will
really
work
to
create
new
urban
public
spaces.
Opportunities
for
recreation
in
the
arts.
Friday
was
an
all-day
workshop.
Essentially,
the
participants
were
broken
into
a
team
so
about
10
people
each
and
they
spent
the
entire
day
developing
ideas,
the
interest
in
creating
places
for
sculpture.
So
if.
G
G
Outcomes
were
a
lot
of
visionary
ideas
for
the
project
summer,
pragmatic
somewhere,
a
little
out-of-the-box
thinking
was
excited
about.
The
process
was
kind
of
the
beauty
of
the
excitement,
it's
kind
of
lightning
in
a
bottle.
You
take
almost
80
designers,
you
put
them
into
a
room
and
you
just
say:
go
at
it
and
listen
to
their
conversations
and
their
ideas.
They
have
a
very
short
amount
of
time
to
come
up
with
these,
so
they
are
lightning,
quick
and
just
kind
of
watching
how
people
thought
the
things
I
thought
about
the
discussions
that
occurred.
A

And
american
design
their
statement
pieces
sometimes
from
designers,
were
up-and-coming,
so
they
were
trendsetters.
They
all
showed
to
the
african-american
audience
that
they
could
imagine
themselves
we're
in
these
gardens.
There
will
be
an
aspiration,
and
so
in
this
sense
that
would
be
inspirational
and
when
fashion
becomes
inspirational,
then
it
becomes
a
real
political
statement,
because
inspiration
means
that
you
at
the
point
feel
that
there
is
a
potential
for
change
that
you
can
achieve
what
you
been
shown.
You
can
see
yourself
in
those
clothes.
J
A
M
Game
app
where
people
can
go
outside
and
be
active
and
try
to
catch
pocket
monsters,
so
pokemon
the
goal
is
to
try
to
catch
them
all
and
level
them
up,
and
so
through
the
app
you
have
to
turn
on
your
gps,
to
be
able
to
play
and
through
the
gps
it
will
show
you
what
pokemon
are
nearby.
What
jim's
and
pokey
stops
are
nearby
to
that
you
can
go
to,
and
then
this
is
a
pokey
stop.
M
M
Lot
of
fun,
and
I
understand
why
people
would
want
to
play
it
as
much
as
they
can
anywhere
they
can,
but
please
be
mindful
of
stuff
like
park
hours
and
where
you're
playing
it's
also
a
great
way
to
meet
other
people
like
you,
you
would
go
outside
and
play
and
then
you
just
see
other
people
playing
and
you
do
look.
I
saw
jiggly
puff
back
there.
You.

Many
people
ask
us:
why
are
you
not
in
silicon
valley?
Why
are
you
not
based
in
new
york,
but
we
found
actually
that
there's
much
more
reality
and
much
less
noise
here
in
bellevue
than
there
is
in
the
silicon
valley
force
field
on
the
east
coast.
W
really
are
offers
so
many
things
that
many
people
don't
know
about.
P
Expense
management
is
the
cornerstone
of
our
company.
That's
where
we
really
started
to
restart
have
a
lot
of
success,
and
I
think
that
that's
our
inroads
too
many
companies,
I
think,
naturally,
when
you're
in
at
a
company
that
focuses
so
much
on
innovation,
those
people
that
do
it
all
day,
long,
naturally
going
to
go
out
and
and
and
appreciate,
city
that
also
focuses
on
innovation.
A
lot
of
the
reason
that
we've
been
able
to
find
those
people
is
because
of
the
city
we
work
in
employees
want
to
be
concur.
P
N
Q
International
realty
we
have
about
36
brokers,
have
agents
that
speak
14,
different
languages
in
our
office
and
so
we're
able
to
really
kind
of
help
that
new
culture
that's
coming
in
to
find
the
right
place
for
them
to
be.
I
think
the
city
is
incredibly
supportive.
You
know
they're
really
receptive
to
us
like
if
we
have
a
parking
issue
or
if
we
want
to
close
something
down.
If
we
want
to
create
an
event,
you
know
we
wanted
new
signage.
They
worked
with
us
on
that
they're.
