Our Mission is to protect, enhance & preserve the existing residential & equestrian character of the Bridle Trails area near Washington’s Bridle Trails State Park in Bellevue & Kirkland
Through the decades, the BTCC has listened to residents, connected them with City staff and leaders, and taken action to steward our BT life. BTCC monitors and shares city policies and ordinances that affect Bridle Trails, enabling residents to have the greatest effect on our daily lives.
Join the BTCC as we participate in the next decade of city planning, policy, budgets, safety, transportation, ending homelessness, and all other city services affecting us every day.
We’ve been Bridle Trails residents’ voice & advocate since 1978. We’re a 501c(4) nonprofit dedicated to protecting & enhancing the character & livability of our area.
Join the BTCC Board and the City of Bellevue depsrt directors.
This July, you’re invited to join your neighbors and City of Bellevue
department directors for a relaxed, family-friendly Neighborhood Walk in Bellevue neighborhoods.
After the walk, join us in the park for ice ream and community time. Residents who
aren’t able to participate in the walk are welcome to meet us at the park to hang
out, connect, and enjoy the gathering. Neighborhood Walks are an informal way to meet city leadership, ask questions, and share what matters most to you and your community.
RSVP welcome but not required.

Bridle Trails Community Club Needs You
Some places are memorable because of their restaurants or shopping districts. Our community is memorable for something far more lasting: its natural beauty, open space, and quiet way of life. Here, tree-lined roads, quiet streets, and low-density housing create a setting that feels peaceful, welcoming, and deeply connected to the land. These qualities did not happen by accident, and they will not remain strong without the care and commitment of people who value them.
The Bridle Trails Community Club has been the voice and advocate of the Bridle Trails community since 1978. For decades, dedicated volunteers have listened to residents, worked with the City of Bellevue, and followed up on issues that matter to this unique neighborhood. That long-standing commitment has helped protect the qualities that make Bridle Trails special and has given residents a meaningful way to speak up for the future of their community.
Today, as the community club approaches its 50-year anniversary, it is facing the challenges of modern times. Fewer members are stepping into leadership roles or paying annual dues, even as the need for advocacy remains strong. This comes at a time of significant change within the City of Bellevue as it works to carry out its vision for the city and manages growth. The Bridle Trails Community Club is working to ensure that the unique nature of our community is preserved and that residents continue to have a voice in changes that affect the neighborhood.
Supporting the Bridle Trails Community Club is a practical and positive way to help protect what makes this area unique. Whether you contribute by volunteering, participating in leadership, or paying annual dues, your involvement helps ensure that Bridle Trails continues to have a strong voice during a time of change. Future generations will benefit from the choices we make today. By working together, we can preserve the character of our community and ensure that its natural beauty and rural spirit continue to thrive.
