Mold Remediation in Bellevue, WA

StretchLab, the premier assisted stretching franchise, recently opened its first location in Bellevue. Located at 14315 NE 20th St, the studio will introduce people of all ages and fitness levels to the various health and wellness benefits of working with highly trained Flexologists™ in an open, modern, fun and approachable environment.

StretchLab Bellevue is owned by Brian Riddick, an experienced entrepreneur in the franchise industry since 2004. Riddick launched his first StretchLab studio in Kirkland in 2019. An avid soccer player, Brian initially became a client at StretchLab to improve his mobility and quickly discovered the numerous benefits of assisted stretching. Inspired by his personal experience and the positive impact of StretchLab on his athletic performance, Brian decided to expand his involvement with the brand with his new location in Bellevue.

“Bellevue is such an active community, with residents engaging in a variety of outdoor activities,” said Brian. “StretchLab will help people feel better and continue to do the things they truly enjoy. Each one-on-one stretch is specifically tailored to meet each client’s unique needs, helping them work toward their personal fitness and wellness goals.”

StretchLab offers a variety of one-on-one personalized stretching services including a 25-minute stretch that concentrates on the client’s current stretching needs, as well as a 50-minute head-to-toe deep stretch that addresses all major muscle groups. Flexologists hold a nationally recognized certificate in assisted stretching, as the Flexologist Training Program is accredited by the Institute for Credentialing Excellence, a first in the field of assisted stretching and something no other brand offers. In addition to one-on-one stretching services, two small-format group stretches are available in which a Flexologist leads clients through a warm-up and sequence of stretches to address major muscle groups. Monthly memberships are available for four or eight visits per month, as well as drop-in stretches.

The Bellevue studio will also offer its members access to the MAPS machine, a revolutionary technology that identifies movement inefficiencies across four critical categories: Mobility, Activation, Posture and Symmetry. The MAPS score is created utilizing 3D technology to perform a total body movement assessment scan in under 30 seconds, as users perform three body-weight squats. Results are delivered on-screen and via email, which will allow StretchLab’s Flexologists to better serve the needs of its diverse members. This creates a customized movement plan and offers a measurable way to see progress in flexibility.

StretchLab Bellevue can be reached online at www.StretchLab.com, by email at bellevue@stretchlab.com or by phone at (425)-900-5934.

"In 30 years of voting, I've never had that many ballots that don't belong to me, you know?" said resident Jami Visaya.

BELLEVUE, Wash. — Washington is a vote-by-mail state, meaning all registered voters receive a ballot in their mail to fill out.

But one King County woman told KING 5 Wednesday that she never could have anticipated receiving 16 unopened ballots addressed to her unit, under different names she had never heard before.

"I was in complete shock," said Jami Visaya, who rents a two-bedroom apartment in Bellevue. "My son and I moved in here on Oct. 3.”

Visaya said she noticed the first batch of ballots in her mailbox on Friday.

"There were about nine voter registration ballots that were not mine. They were addressed to other people, and so I thought that was strange, so I ended up returning them to the post office here."

She said she turned them into the employee at USPS.

"And said, 'Can you please make sure that these get to who they're going to?' And he just said he had a process that the post office follows," Visaya said. She said he took the nine ballots and did not give any further detail.

A few days later, Visaya said she opened her mailbox again and, this time, found seven additional ballots with different, unknown names. She said, again, they all were addressed to her building and unit.

"It's all names of, like, Indian descent and possibly Middle Eastern," she said.

At first, when KING 5 reached out to the King County Elections Office, Chief of Staff Kendall LeVan Hodson said she wondered if it may have been because the tenants who used to be registered at her apartment didn't update their address when they moved.

However, Visaya said most of the ballots are addressed to different last names, which leads her to believe the ballots do not belong to one, two, or even three prior households.

Plus, she said, "Management said no one's lived here for three months" before she moved in early October.

Visaya wonders, "Why didn't I get all of their other mail forwarded here, or junk mail, or anything like that?”

She said the mix-up gives her concern about a democratic election.

"I just feel like it's not fair for these individuals who do not have their ballot," said Visaya.

KING 5 helped to connect Visaya with LeVan Hodson at the elections office.

On that call, Visaya told her, "In 30 years of voting, I've never had that many ballots that don't belong to me, you know?"

LeVan Hodson explained to KING 5 that they have daily calls with the USPS, so they said they would bring the topic up to them immediately. The carrier delivers mail by address, not by name.

"Would you be alright with our folks coming to pick them up from you? That's gonna be probably the easiest way for us to sort it out," said LeVan Hodson. Visaya agreed.

LeVan Hodson told KING 5, "Even if someone gets a second ballot (or more), whether under their name or someone else’s, we’ll only ever count one ballot per registered voter with their matching signature."

On the phone call, Visaya asked her, "Are you going to make sure that it gets expedited to the recipients?”

"We can actually see in our system, like, where we have mailed ballots to them and updated their address and things like that," said LeVan Hodson. "Yeah, if we need to get them a replacement ballot, we’ll get that out. If we need to, you know, update their registration to a different address, we'll do that as well.”

Time is of the essence: if you’re mailing your ballot in, the Washington Secretary of State’s office recommends you mail it by a week prior to Election Day, Nov. 5. However, mail-in ballots postmarked by Nov. 5 will be accepted, and people can still utilize ballot drop boxes, or vote in person.

BELLEVUE, Wash. - Bellevue has once again claimed the title of the most expensive city for renters in the Seattle metro area, according to a new report from Zumper.

The October 2024 Seattle Metro Report analyzed active rental listings and revealed that the median price for a one-bedroom apartment in Bellevue reached $2,530 last month. A two-bedroom topped the charts at $3,200 per month.

The report also found that Redmond, with a median rent of $2,310, and Kirkland, at $2,250, ranked as the second and third most expensive cities, respectively, for one-bedroom apartments.

In contrast, Wenatchee was the most affordable city in the Seattle metro area, with one-bedrooms priced at $1,270, followed by Lakewood at $1,350 and Tacoma at $1,420.

Bellevue not only holds the top spot for rent prices, but it also recorded the fastest year-over-year rent growth, with prices increasing 11% since Oct. 2023. Bremerton followed with a 5.5% rise, and Lakewood saw rents climb by 3.8% over the same period.

On a month-to-month basis, Bremerton experienced the most significant growth, with a 4.1% increase in rents, followed by Everett at 2% and Tacoma at 1.4%.

The Washington state median rent for a one-bedroom apartment was $1,573 in Sept. 2024, according to Zumper's report, which aggregated listings across metro cities to calculate median asking rents.

As rent prices continue to rise, renters in the Seattle metro area face mounting challenges with securing affordable housing.
