Local
Area Information - Bellevue
Only
a matter of decades ago, Bellevue was a small stop along
the highway, surrounded by strawberry fields. Since its
incorporation in 1953 it has grown to over 103,000 residents
and is now the fourth largest city in Washington. With its
multiple office high rises, today it is a bustling metropolis
in its own right--many people, in fact, commute from Seattle
to work in Bellevue.
From
Bellevue it is also a brief 10-15 minute commute to Seattle
across either the Interstate 90 bridge to the south or the
Highway 520 bridge to the north. In Bellevue itself, a major
business center of the Eastside, you'll find numerous office
complexes, major retailers, hotels, and first class restaurants.
Bellevue is, in fact, among the highest income cities in
King County.
Founded
in 1869, Bellevue is an intentional mix of urban space and
natural beauty. Shopping centers such as Factoria, Crossroads,
and Eastgate, as well as the popular Bellevue Square, draw
shoppers from around the greater Seattle metropolitan area.
Besides local parks, Bellevue also boasts a thriving arts
community and excellent schools.
