Bellevue Towers

Downtown Bellevue sits on the east side of Lake Washington, with a compact city center framed by parks and the Bellevue Botanical Garden nearby. The mild, rainy winters and drier summers suit strolls along tree-lined streets and paths. Bellevue Downtown Park offers open lawns, a circular promenade and a broad fountain, while Meydenbauer Bay Park connects the urban core to the waterfront. Dining ranges from cafés and casual spots to restaurants, and Bellevue Square and the surrounding shopping district bring a wide mix of retail. Arts venues, galleries and seasonal events add activity beyond the office day. The area’s history as a small crossroads town is still reflected in its growth into a regional center. Walking is convenient within downtown, with frequent bus service and connections to regional transit. Downtown Bellevue’s median rent is $2,807 per month, with a typical range of $950 to $22,000.
