Save your shoreline and property!
The City of Bellevue is planning to pass regulations that will curtail your ability to develop your property and hence decrease the value of your property!
Who is WSSA?
WSSA is organized by citizens to alert you to the City of Bellevue’s proposed regulations of our shoreline areas. The purpose of this website is to keep you informed. This site provides you with the links to communicate directly with the Bellevue City Council, Planning Commission and city staff. The menu located in the banner at the top of this page, contain research and links that will help you understand the implications of these regulations and assist you in making decisions regarding your property and rights.
Why should I be interested?
Living on the waterfront in Washington State is relaxing, picturesque, and serene. Healthy lakes and waterways are as important to homeowners as they are to the recreational and commercial users. The question is not if we want clean lakes, the question is how do we help our lakes continue stay clean?
How will this affect me?
The City of Bellevue wants to force homeowners to behave in ways that they believe will solve the problems of salmon populations. The proposed SMP regulation is based on erroneous and inconclusive “science” that will have indeterminate effect on salmon restoration. As property owners we have a vested interest in watching over and safeguarding our shorelines. We are the first line of defense against runoff pollution, litter and destruction of habitat. Homeowners are the best stewards of these resources because we are adjacent to and part of this natural environment.
What can I do?
Formed by concerned citizens, WSSA is dedicated to helping our neighbors retain the rights that allow them to enjoy their property instead of being forced to submit to questionable regulations backed by unproven “science.” to put this in perspective what do you spend a year to maintain your property, file your tax return, or what is it worth to you to enjoy your property asset.
