As many of our long-term readers know, Downtown Bellevue Network has been notorious for celebrating April Fools’ Day every year. It’s one holiday that we look forward to. It allows us an opportunity once a year to be innovative and poke fun at various issues or topics.
The year 2020 has always been a year that represented a look into the future. Given the state of our community and world, we thought it might be most appropriate to take this year off and instead, take a look back in time.
Below are the last twelve consecutive years of our April Fools’ Day pranks. We hope that some of these posts from the archives can be a spark of joy in your day during these uncertain times.
