Here's why those military helicopters were flying low over Bellevue [View all]

Military helicopters buzzed southeast Bellevue and Issaquah Tuesday evening, into the early hours of Wednesday.

FlightRadar24 showed they were Boeing MH-47G Chinook helicopters belonging to the army, based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM).

Gary Dangerfield, external communications chief for the base, confirmed that and said special operations teams were conducting training flights on July 15 and 16.

“These activities are not in response to any current event, and every effort is made to limit disruptions to the community,” said Dangerfield.

He added that local law enforcement and government entities had been notified and that the Army takes special safety precautions when flying over highly populated areas.
