History

Founded in 1869 by William Meydenbauer, the early residents of present day Bellevue were mainly miners, loggers, and farmers, all working hard to meet the demands of progress. In the 1920s, developer James S. Ditty, known as an "adventurous entrepreneur" and "hard-nosed" businessman, saw incredible potential in the little town. He predicted Bellevue would become a thriving city, increasing the eventual population of the eastside to 200,000. Today, Bellevue is indeed more than a suburb of Seattle, standing tall with its downtown skyscrapers, modern office spaces, urban condominiums, high-end shopping centers, and luxurious lifestyle homes.
 

Community

Bellevue is a remarkable place to live, work, and raise a family – not only attested to by its residents but also confirmed in recent write ups in CNN-Money and USA Today. Bellevue’s national media exposure is well deserved. Bellevue has a lot to offer:
 
  • Bellevue Square and One Lincoln Tower, one of the region’s largest and most vibrant shopping centers
  • Bellevue Arts Museum and Eastside Heritage Center, to engage visitors in art and history
  • Scenic golf courses and country clubs
  • Meydenbauer Center, offering one of Washington’s best venues for conventions, banquets, trade shows, and performing arts theatre
  • Bellevue Downtown Park, a 20-acre respite in the heart of downtown, complete with a waterfall and pond
