Land Acknowledgment and Commitment to Inclusivity
Visit Bellevue acknowledges that our destination is located on the Indigenous Land of the Coast Salish peoples, including the Duwamish, Suquamish Tribe, Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, and Snoqualmie Indian Tribe. We thank and honor the caretakers of this land, which has been their home since time immemorial. We thank and honor their connection to the land and region, and pay respect to Coast Salish Elders past and present. We commit to care for the land and water, and equity.
In line with our mission to welcome the world to Bellevue, we are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and at home. We embrace the diversity of our visitors, employees, and community members, and strive to foster a space free of discrimination and prejudice. We want to ensure that every person who visits Bellevue experiences warmth, inclusion, and genuine hospitality.
We recognize that our commitment to inclusivity is an ongoing journey. We are dedicated to listening, learning, and working collaboratively with our community to uphold these values and support a culture of equity and belonging. If you’d like to contribute to our mission of inclusion, please consider joining our multicultural tourism council, where we work together to promote inclusivity and celebrate diversity within our tourism sector.
