The tragic New York City crane accident reminded Bellevue, WA residents of the crane collapse in 2006 that killed one man. The proliferation of cranes continues in downtown Bellevue. We are still in the habit of counting them whenever we’re at a stop light, often handing the task off to our 3-year-old whose tally gets more accurate by the day. The City of Bellevue actually published a news release this week that listed the 18 construction cranes and their associated projects. It includes a link to a PDF of 21 major projects under construction, 12 under review, and 7 in the pipeline. That’s a lot of change to the city’s landscape.
