    The Bellevue Youth Theatre program was founded in 1990 in the Cross-roads area of Bellevue as an outreach program for disenfranchised youth. With proud roots as a recreational performing arts center, it has grown to serve youth, families, and people living with disabilities and seniors not only in Bellevue, but in other Eastside communities as well.

    The theatre presents 11 performances throughout the year, offering oppor-tunities targeted for youth ages 11 to 19, while including other commu-nity members of all ages. Separate workshop and day camp programs are also offered. Annual involvement in the program has grown to include more than 900 individuals and more than 7,000 performance attendees.

    Today the Bellevue Youth Theatre is a place where skills are learned, talents are discovered, creativity is ex-pressed, and community is strength-ened. In March, 2015, Bellevue Youth Theatre opened the doors on its new, state-of-the-art theatre at Crossroads Community Park.

    HELP! At the Bellevue Aquatic Center, our goal is to provide high quality, productive swim lessons for your children. Enrolling students in classes with others of similar abilities is vital in achieving this goal. To ensure that your child is enrolled in the best class for him/her, please retain your progress cards or ask for a placement test if they have not been in BAC lessons for 3 months. Children signed up at the incorrect level may be removed from the class.

    Please remember when registering your child: Â All participants will be required to take a swim evaluation

    if they have not had swimming lessons in our pool in the last three months, or are wanting to register above Level 1.

    Â Registrations can be made at the Bellevue Aquatic Cen-ter, any Bellevue community center, or online at register.bellevuewa.gov with a VISA or MasterCard payment.

    Â Payment is required in full at the time of registration. Â Repeating levels is common. You may only register for

    the current level your child is in. Â Space is limited. Â Many courses ave pre-requisites that need to be met

    prior to registration. Participants registered for the incorrect level will be removed according to the City’s withdrawal policy, and will be charged a withdrawal fee. Call the Bellevue Aquatics Center at 425-452-4444 for more information.

    Minimum Class Size: Each program has a minimum class size requirement. If this is not met, the Bellevue Aquatic Center may cancel the course. Accommodations will be made for the participant if possible; otherwise a full refund be given for the canceled course.

Our programs foster creativity and active play. The farm’s two historical barns sit prominently on the crest of a hill. There is no formal entrance fee; however, we welcome and appreciate your donations.

    When visiting any of Bellevue’s parks, all dogs and other pets must be kept on a leash at all times. Out of consideration for our farm animals’ health and wellbeing, please observe all posted signs prohibiting pets from the barnyard and feeding of the farm animals.
