Mayor Rusty Hike invites residents to Bellevue's annual Shamrock painting to honor fallen service member
Summary
Mayor Rusty Hike announced Bellevue’s annual Shamrock painting in Oldtown, naming Sergeant First Class Noah Tensions as this year’s honoree and inviting residents to a March 14 pub crawl with shuttle service; the mayor emphasized remembrance and safety.
Mayor Rusty Hike announced the city’s annual Shamrock painting in Oldtown and invited residents to attend a community ceremony and pub crawl planned for Saturday, March 14. The event, organized by the Bellevue Community Foundation, dedicates a painted shamrock on Mission Avenue at Franklin Street to honor local residents who died in the past 12 months.
The mayor identified this year’s honoree as “Sergeant First Class Noah Tensions,” saying he “lost his life over in the Iran ... conflict right now” and asking the community to remember the family and the service member’s contributions. Hike also thanked volunteers helping with the event and recognized the ceremony’s bagpipe player, Sergeant Melrose, whom he said is affiliated with the city police and a member of FOP 59.
The event organizers plan a pub crawl on Saturday, March 14 with multiple participating bars around Bellevue and shuttle service running from different locations to help attendees move between venues. Hike urged residents to enjoy the activities but to prioritize safety, closing his remarks with a reminder to “be safe.”
No formal votes or policy actions were recorded in the remarks. The mayor’s announcement provided logistics and a public commemoration; year of the event beyond the March 14 date was not specified in the remarks and some local names in the recording were rendered inconsistently in the transcript.
