Mediation

What is mediation?

Mediation is an informal and private way for people to work through a disagreement. The voluntary process encourages solutions that are acceptable to all participants. Impartial mediators guide people through a step-by-step process, which allows a candid and thorough exploration of the issues and options. Most people who elect to mediate find lasting solutions and move toward a more peaceful future.

When you call the Bellevue Mediation Program, you get:

Dispute resolution for
--Neighbors (views, boundary lines, noise, homeowner associations, repeated annoyances, building construction)
--Work Groups
--Merchants and Consumers
--Landlords and Tenants
--Parents and their Teens
--Code Compliance Issues
An objective "ear." A trained conflict resolution specialist will listen to each party's concerns. This impartial "third party" will help assess the situation and develop options and approaches for improving it.
Real solutions. Solutions generated from the people involved are more satisfying and durable than imposed settlements.
Less tension. Increased and effective communication improves relationships and diminishes annoyances.

This service is free to residents and business owners in the City of Bellevue.
