People should be able to enjoy ownership, use and possession of property without negative interference from chronic nuisance properties. The intent of the Bellevue city council in enacting this chapter of the Bellevue City Code is to exercise specific powers granted by the state of Washington to optional code cities to declare what shall be a nuisance, prevent and abate nuisances, and to impose fines and other penalties upon parties who create, continue, or suffer nuisances to exist. In addition, the Bellevue city council intends to exercise the specific power granted by the state to provide for the punishment of all practices dangerous to public health or safety, and to make all regulations necessary for the preservation of public morality, health, peace, and good order within its limits, and to provide for the arrest, trial, and punishment of all persons charged with violating city ordinances.
