Bellevue

Vibrancy and beauty merge in this majestic Pacific Northwest city

Welcome to Bellevue

 
Bellevue has carved out a glowing reputation as a place that blends rugged outdoor fun with exceptional sophistication — all in a radiant, gorgeous, metropolitan setting. From luxe boutiques to award-winning breweries, this waterfront city flourishes with energy and activity. Sandwiched between Lake Washington and Mount Rainier, Bellevue is also acclaimed for its superb real estate options and thriving arts and cultural scene.
 
Given its proximity to the Emerald City, it is no surprise that Bellevue is also home to some of the most incredible high-profile properties in existence. Sprawling estates, cloaked by verdant greenery, feature second-to-none views, terrific seclusion, and state-of-the-art amenities. Add remarkable walkability to Bellevue’s list of fabulous traits, and you can see why it’s ranked the best place to live by CN Money and several other top-tier publications.

Local Lifestyle

 
Bellevue is one part urbane and one part adventurous. As such, it attracts affluent professionals who love spending their weekends taking advantage of the Pacific Northwest’s glorious natural splendors. You’ll find retirees, artists, students, entrepreneurs, and families with children out and about enjoying Bellevue’s amenities, whether it’s checking out the latest additions to its public art scene or a sun-splashed picnic in one of Bellevue’s lush and pristine parks.
 

Dining, Shopping & Entertainment

 
Bellevue has become a leading destination because of its booming culinary, shopping, and arts and culture scene. Ascend Prime Steak & Sushi presents staggering views of the glimmering water and a posh setting to relish delectable Asian and American fare. El Gaucho Bellevue is just as enticing. Modern in design and upscale in flavor, this perfectly-illuminated steakhouse features expertly prepared dishes ranging from tenderloin tips in creamy Cajun sauce to tender filets topped with lobster medallions and Bearnaise.
 
The craft beer scene is on fire in the Pacific Northwest, and Bellevue is a large part of its legendary status. Bellevue Brewing Company is an absolute must for locals and visitors. On warm afternoons, you can nestle into a seat outside and pair your ice-cold ales with Birria beef tacos with pickled onions or apple-wood smoked wings with chipotle sauce.
 
Bellevue also boasts some of the finest shopping in Washington State. The Shops At The Bravern is as opulent as it sounds. In this chic retail promenade, European-inspired details set the stage for a magnificent collection of renowned boutiques, including Hermes, Louis Vuitton, and Prada.
 

Things to Do

 
Bellevue residents have an endless array of activities at their fingertips. The Bellevue Arts Museum crystallizes the city’s creative spirit with several stunning exhibitions and installations, while the Bellevue Botanical Garden showcases an explosion of extraordinary flowers and plants.
 
When the weather clears, Bellevue residents flock to Mercer Slough Nature Park, a wondrous, nearly three-acre escape in the middle of the city that offers an excellent loop trail. Clyde Beach Park may be small in size, but it’s enormous in views — and is deemed by many parents as the optimal spot to play with children and picnic under the sun.
