The Green Car Company, which relocated from Kirkland to Bellevue last June, is considering a move back to its old digs.

The company, which specializes in electric and biodiesel cars, moved to Bellevue last year to consolidate its show room and repair shop after it couldn’t find an appropriate place in Kirkland.

But now that Bellevue city officials haven’t shown an interest in the company, the business has its wheels set on other locations, says Susan Fahnestock, owner of The Green Car Company.

Though she is not certain yet that the company will move from its current location, she said she hasn’t been pleased with the treatment the company has received from the City of Bellevue.

“No one from the city has dropped by to see us once,” she said, noting the city is focused on development and “isn’t super interested on what we’re doing.”

Among the cities that are courting the company are Kirkland, Issaquah and Seattle.

To weigh her options, Fahnestock has met with city officials from both Kirkland and Isssaquah, including Ellen Miller-Wolfe, Kirkland’s Economic Development manager.

“We haven’t found anything yet,” Fahnestock said. “We like both communities. Both have been welcoming and have a commitment towards being green.”

Wolfe said she’s advised Fahnestock about vacant sites in Kirkland where auto sales are permissible, including the former Kia and Hyundai dealership sites.

The Green Car Company, which generated approximately $8 million in sales revenue in 2007, would be a boost for Kirkland’s economy.

But more importantly, the company represents what the City of Kirkland prides itself for – being environmentally responsible and sustainable, Wolfe said.

“The Green Car Company epitomizes sustainability and being green in that they are selling vehicles with reduced emissions,” she said. “They are at the cutting edge in innovation and sustainability. I think they’re a great symbol for Kirkland.”

Fahnestock added her business, which focuses on community involvement and has participated in Kirkland’s July 4th parade and Issaquah Salmon Days, would “fit better in an active community that is interested in being green. Bellevue’s priority is in the development of downtown.”

The company also recently opened a new kiosk at Marina Park, where interested pedestrians can rent or buy electric bikes.
