The Bellevue Downtown Association said goodbye to one of its 30+ years members, Kemper Freeman.  Freeman’s father was one of BDA’s founders (1974) and the Bellevue Square Developer.  Kemper announced his withdrawal from the organization in January.  The organization who maintains they focus on being a city with amazing retail, companies and residential neighborhoods are now considering bringing East Link, a new Bellevue bound section of South Transit Light rail to the city.  Kemper, however, opposes the light rail and felt Bellevue needed to expand freeway and metro transit instead.  The Bellevue Downtown Association is now 242 members large, comprised of a variety of developers, property owners and community members.
