About Us
The neighborhood surrounding beautiful Meydenbauer Bay in Bellevue reaches from the hills of Shoreland Drive in Enatai, all the way to Groat Point in Medina – making the MBNA (Meydenbauer Bay Neighbors Association) one of the largest neighborhood advocacy groups in Bellevue.
The Board of the MBNA represents both single family and multi-family homeowners in Meydenbauer Bay.
Given the proximity to downtown Bellevue and growing public parks, the neighborhoods around Meydenbauer Bay are also among those experiencing the fastest growth.
Our Mission
The mission of the MBNA is to ensure our neighborhood remains safe and clean for all our residents, and we have worked to keep access roads open around our neighborhood, reducing unnecessary traffic congestion. The City of Bellevue continues to see rapid growth, and the MBNA has worked in close partnership with the Bellevue City Council and non-elected officials to advocate for issues affecting our neighborhood.
Neighborhood Growth
Residents should know that the role of neighborhood groups and concerned citizens is especially important now that the City of Bellevue has entered Phase 2 of its master plan to expand the Meydenbauer Bay Park, which will be the west ending point for the proposed Grand Connection that will connect much of downtown Bellevue together from Wilburton to Meydenbauer Bay. The MBNA is working hard on residents’ behalf to make sure the City has allocated time and resources to ensure that access roads remain open despite park expansion, and most importantly, that the City has a plan to ensure the safety and well-being of all park-goers and neighboring homes.
City of Bellevue Engagement
Another mission of the MBNA is working to keep our neighbors informed. During every election cycle for Bellevue City Council, we hold a non-partisan Candidate Forum which hosts all candidates in a debate style format. This year’s Forum was attended by over 100 interested and engaged residents who had the opportunity to meet candidates and existing members of the Bellevue City Council. The MBNA also hosts an annual luncheon inviting city leaders and members of local law enforcement in order to engage our neighborhood with our city.
The MBNA was founded in 2007 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, non-partisan organization
We encourage all residents to join us in maintaining a beautiful and safe neighborhood for our families and neighbors. Your voice counts, and we would love to have you join us to learn more about happenings in Meydenbauer Bay, and greater Bellevue. MBNA members receive periodic newsletters and e-mails to advise of forthcoming events and opportunities to make our voices heard.

The MBNA was founded in 2007 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, non-partisan organization, and the board includes representatives of four condominium associations, the Meydenbauer Bay Yacht Club, a representative of local business, and several individual homeowners.
