Who we are and what we stand for
The Old Bellevue Merchants Association (OBMA) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 45-5541549) serving the Old Bellevue neighborhood in Bellevue, Washington.
OBMA has operated in its current form since 2012, building on a tradition of merchant collaboration in Old Bellevue that reaches back to the 1980s. Today we bring together local businesses, property owners, residents, and visitors to steward one of Bellevue’s most historic and walkable districts.
"Our mission is to foster growth, prosperity, and a sense of belonging among all who live, work, and visit Old Bellevue."
We believe a thriving district is built on strong local businesses, an engaged community, and a welcoming public realm. We work in partnership with the City of Bellevue, the Bellevue Downtown community, and our members to advance those goals through events, beautification, and community programming.
