Should transient vendors pay a fee to do business in Bellevue? As another season of farmers markets and other events kicks off, some borough officials and business owners think vendors should be charged.

Bellevue has an ordinance covering transient vendors such as those who set up shop at the weekly farmers markets and other events organized by Enjoy Bellevue, including a car cruise in May and the Summer Solstice in June. That ordinance requires vendors to obtain a permit when they sell items in Bellevue, with a fee charged for each permit.
