Another landslide reported in neighborhood of demolished Bellevue home

BELLEVUE, Wash. — Emergency crews are working another landslide Monday in the neighborhood affected by a landslide in January that demolished a home and displaced neighbors.

Authorities said the landslide Monday evening began from the hilltop where the Bellevue home was destroyed six weeks ago. The recent heavy rain caused some mudflow in the area, a spokesperson for the City of Bellevue said.

City crews closed the road in the Somerset neighborhood and created a barrier to control the flow of water and debris.

The spokesperson said the City of Bellevue is working with the private property owner of the hillside, Forest Ridge School, to bring in experts to address erosion on the hillside.

The neighborhood was re-opened Friday, just days before the Monday landslide. The spokesperson said they do not consider the area dangerous, but are being cautious.
