  • Very classy, high rise city. Beautiful downtown and nice views of Cascade's and Seattle skyline. Wonderful shopping and new condos and towers being built.
  • Home to 3 of the top 10 nationally-ranked, public high schools (International School, Bellevue High School, Newport High School). Bedroom community to Microsoft Corporation in neighboring community of Redmond, WA.
  • I just moved to Bellevue and while I love that there's trees everywhere I see, it's just not people-friendly enough. The streets are full of cars and hills and it's impossible to really go green. The buses have an awful schedule at that, too. And don't even get me started on the schools; the students for the most part are rich, spoiled, racist, and sheltered kids who think they're the best when in reality their school is only ranked high because of its ability to trick the system.
  • Angela, you clearly don't know what you are talking about, especially when it comes to the Bellevue public school system.
  • Bellevue is a great city. Takes time to know it and get use to it before commenting is helpful :)
