About Bellevue
Living in Bellevue
Once a quiet suburb, Bellevue is now a gleaming Eastside city of its own — a tech powerhouse with a walkable, growing downtown, world-class shopping, and an exceptional school system.
It offers a rare mix of urban convenience and leafy, family-friendly neighborhoods, all minutes from Seattle across Lake Washington.
Bellevue is a city in the Eastside region of King County, Washington, United States, located across Lake Washington from Seattle. It is the third-largest city in the Seattle metropolitan area, and the fifth-largest city in Washington. It has variously been characterized as a satellite city, a suburb, a boomburb, or an edge city. The population was 151,854 at the 2020 census. The city's name is derived from the French term belle vue. Source: Wikipedia ↗
