The City of Bellevue and The Pacific Science Center have joined forces in Bellevue to create The Mercer Slough Educational Center. Here’s a link to a great article written by Kathleen Cragun on Issaquah Undressed regarding the new eco-friendly center down by the Mercer Slough in central Bellevue.  I wasn’t able to make the opening for the center, but think people should know about Bellevue’s commitment to eco-friendly, “green” ideals and the partnership with the Pacific Science Center.  Kathleen took some great photos of the center which has some wonderful architecture and eco-friendly designs. 

I also found a link to an article written about the metal spans used to build the center.

“The Environmental Education Center uses energy efficient Span-Lok hp metal roofs in Cool Metallic Silver to limit heat island effects, demonstrating how homes can be “green” using metal.”

The center will provide training in “green” techniques for people of all ages. Come on down and visit the center at 1625 118th Ave SE in Bellevue.  It’s a hop, skip, and a jump from I-90 and downtown Bellevue.
