Reach Bellevue, every Thursday at 6 AM.
The Bellevue Dispatch is the free weekly email people in Bellevue open for what the city decided, what's opening and what changed on their streets. Local businesses sponsor it to be in that issue, in front of neighbors who read it.
Reader numbers from our email platform as of October 25, 2026, refreshed every Monday.

How it works
- Request a Thursday. Pick a placement and a date, or let us suggest the next open one.
- We write the copy with you. You send your logo, your link and the one thing readers should know; the draft comes back the same day for your OK.
- Pay one invoice. Card or bank transfer, before the issue runs.
- See what it did. Within 48 hours of each issue: how many readers opened it and how many clicked your link.
Our standards
- Every paid placement is labeled "Sponsored".
- Local businesses only. No real estate brokerages or agents, no political ads.
- Ads never buy editorial coverage.
- Readers' email addresses are never shared or sold, to sponsors or anyone.
