Bellevue, Washington

 Bellevue is located directly across Lake Washington from Seattle. While considered part of Seattle's eastside, it is very much an entity of its own. Founded in 1869, it was not incorporated as a city until 1953.

It is a city surrounded by beauty. Sitting between Lake Washington and Lake Sammanish with Mt. Rainier to its south, Mt. Baker to its north and the Cascades to the east, Bellevue has great scenery surrounding it.

Two bridges connect it with Seattle, and the city is home to over 100,000 people and numerous corporations. Full of internet technology companies like Microsoft and Expedia as well as retailers like Eddie Bauer and even T-Mobile, Bellevue is a vibrant place to live or to work.

Scenic Views

In choosing your Bellevue apartment, you will have the option of considering several different types of neighborhoods. The Eastgate area is completely residential with great views and almost a rural feel with tree lined streets.

Factoria is largely commercial but there are also many complexes and condo buildings located there. While largely commercial and cultural, the downtown area will also provide some accommodation. Wherever you look, the scenic backdrops of Bellevue make it a beautiful place to live.

Access to the Great Outdoors

Bellevue offers such easy access to Seattle that one gets the benefits of big city living in a quieter environment. The Mariners, the Seahawks and the Supersonics will make sports fans happy. The city has its own philharmonic orchestra, live theatre and art museum.

The KidsQuest Museum is favored by the youngsters. With water and mountains both close by, there is no lack of out recreation either and your Bellevue apartment won't be too far from any activity.

  • Why should I move to Bellevue?

    Once considered a suburb of Seattle, Bellevue is now a thriving edge city with an economy and culture all its own. Bellevue is French for "beautiful view", attributable to the city's scenic views of the Olympic and Cascade Mountains. Located between Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish, Bellevue offers its residents great schools, a very low crime rate, good public transportation, and a beautiful downtown park. Moreover, Bellevue has a dynamic arts and culture district which includes the Bellevue Arts Museum, the Kidsquest Children's Museum, and the annual Bellevue Arts and Crafts Fair held here every July. This prosperous city also features a booming economy, being recently named by CNN as the #1 place in the county to launch a business!

  • Are there any good places for brunch in Wilburton?

    A Bellevue classic for over 50 years, Chace's Pancake Corral is located just two miles outside of Woodridge, on Bellevue Way Southeast. With a warm, welcoming family atmosphere, huge portions of tasty brunch fare, and low prices, it's no wonder Chace's is one of the busiest joints in town. Try the Pancake Corral's famed potato pancakes with sour cream, or the light and fluffy banana pancakes served with coconut syrup. And be sure to order up a side of Chace's famously tasty hash browns. This local brunch hotspot also serves up lunch favorites like chicken fried steak served with homemade gravy and warm, freshly baked biscuits. With such tasty eats it's no surprise Chace's is very popular with Bellevue locals, so be sure to get there early to avoid the lines!

  • What would an ideal weekend be like in Bellevue?

    An ideal weekend in Bellevue might consist of some outdoor explorations at the Bellevue Botanical Gardens, the Downtown Park, or the Newcastle Beach Park, followed by some shopping at the Bellevue Square Mall or the Shops at the Bravern. Then dive into the local culture at the Bellevue Art Museum or the Rosalie Whyel Museum of Doll Art. Top off the evening with a family trip to the local Crossroads Cinemas.

  • Is Bellevue famous for any kind of restaurant or food in particular? What's the local favorite?

    Like any large metropolitan area, food from all parts of the world can be found somewhere in Bellevue--and, based on its proximity to the ocean, some of this food features seafood. Udupi Palace and Facing East serve Indian and Taiwanese food, respectively. Analagous to most cities in the Pacific Northwest, many restaurants showcase the area's fresh, local, year-round produce. Often considered a suburb of Seattle, Bellevue also has an abundance of coffee shops.

  • Is Bellevue a family friendly town?

    Considering safety and quality of education, Bellevue is a quite family-friendly town. With 36 crimes per 1,000 residents and a population of about 124,000, Bellevue's crime rate is near the average when compared to other communities of similar population size. However, as far as schools are concerned, Bellevue fares much better. Public education is primarily provided by the Bellevue School District, which comprises 32 schools serving close to 17,000 students. This district was rated better than 98.2 percent of school districts in Washington and 96.1% of school districts in the country.
