After booking one of our furnished apartments in Bellevue, here's everything you need to know for your stay.
A vital part of the Seattle metro area, Bellevue is a city of 150,000 located just east of Seattle across Lake Washington. While Bellevue started out as a suburb of Seattle, today it’s a flourishing city in its own right that’s home to some of the world’s largest companies, with its own bustling downtown.
The area now known as Bellevue was continuously inhabited by Native Americans for at least four millennia before the first permanent European settlement was erected in the mid-nineteenth century. By the end of the nineteenth century, there was a consistent European presence, mostly consisting of loggers who felled trees around their homes until the land was cleared.
In the early 20th century, residents of Seattle would take ferry rides across Lake Washington and spend weekends in leafy Bellevue to get away from the city. At the time, Bellevue was still largely agricultural, with a burgeoning strawberry growing industry staffed by Japanese immigrant farm hands. When a bridge was built across the lake in the mid-twentieth century, Bellevue’s permanent population began to increase, with Seattle commuters moving in.
The internment of Bellevue’s Japanese Americans during World War II was traumatic for the Japanese-American population and a significant blow to the local strawberry industry. With no one left to work the farms, the land was sold to developers, and Bellevue’s downtown was built. Another bridge across the lake continued to increase growth in the city, and the city annexed several other nearby municipalities, adding to its geographic size and overall population.
Over the last 20 years, the city has been consistently ranked as one of the best places to live in the U.S., based on a variety of factors, including school quality, the availability of outdoors activities, and its citizens’ health. Today, Bellevue is an exciting place to visit, with excellent restaurants, shopping, and entertainment, and there are great short-term rental options near it all.
Bellevue is served by Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, which sits a little more than 15 miles southwest of the city center. You can take public transportation from the airport to Bellevue by riding Sound Transit’s Link light rail into downtown Seattle and then transferring to a bus headed east across the lake, but it takes a while.
A taxi or a rideshare service that goes straight to Bellevue will be significantly faster. (Sound Transit is at work on a train to Bellevue scheduled to be completed in the near future.) Within Bellevue, there is bus service, but public transportation isn’t as robust as it is in Seattle, where streetcars are a favorite mode of transportation. In Seattle, you can also hop on the city’s famous Center Monorail.
Biking is a great option in Bellevue, and bike rental options are plentiful. Just be prepared for a spritz of the city’s famous rain (though inclement weather is often quick to pass).
And of course, walking is a great way to get around Bellevue’s downtown and outlying neighborhoods, as well as to explore Lake Washington and the Puget Sound.
Located in the city’s downtown, the Bellevue Arts Museum (BAM) has a host of incredible works from local and global artists and is well worth a visit.
Bellevue Botanical Garden is a natural paradise within the larger natural paradise of Western Washington, with over 50 acres of beautiful flora. (Admission is free.)
For retail therapy, head to the Bellevue Collection downtown. These three different shopping areas have a wide range of stores and restaurants.
Another great option during your stay in Bellevue: a day trip to Seattle, just a 15-minute drive across the lake. The Space Needle is Seattle’s most iconic building. Take the elevator up 43 stories to the observation level and take in incredible views of Elliott Bay, the forested Cascade Mountains, and distant Mount Rainier. Pike Place Market is another must-visit. See the Market’s famed fish-throwing tradition, browse the offerings of hundreds of local artisans, and check out the first Starbucks location.
Many of Bellevue’s best restaurants are located downtown, not far from Lake Washington. You can find delicious meals from around the world, including Turkish and Taiwanese dishes.
That said, some of the best food in the area is across the river in Seattle. The Capitol Hill neighborhood has budget eats and white tablecloth experiences. For exceptional meals from all over the world, head to the International District and to Columbia City. You’ll find restaurants serving dishes from Japan, Mongolia, Kenya, Italy, and countless other global culinary centers. If you’re visiting Pike Place, be careful of crowds on weekends. But there are gems to be found among the food stalls.
The Pacific Northwest is rich in natural beauty, and Bellevue is no exception. Bellevue Downtown Park, spanning 21 acres, is a lovely green space within the bustle of the city. Locals and visitors alike come here to take walks, enjoy picnics, sun themselves, read books, or just admire the city’s skyline.
Mercer Slough Park has miles of trails through wetlands, and even has a water trail that can be “hiked’ via canoe.
Meydenbauer Beach Park on the shore of Lake Washington was the old landing spot for ferries from Seattle and the gateway to Bellevue.
Bellevue’s name comes from the French phrase “belle vue,” or “beautiful view,” a reference to the city’s cherished natural beauty.
While Amazon’s headquarters today are in Seattle, in the city’s South Lake Union neighborhood, its founder Jeff Bezos started the company across the lake, out of the garage of his house in Bellevue.
If you’re looking for fun after dark, good news: in a report on the best cities in America to live in, Bellevue got an “A” grade for its nightlife.
