Northwest Bellevue is a worldwide destination
Adjacent to Downtown Bellevue and Meydenbauer Bay and with easy access to Seattle, Northwest Bellevue is one of the most desirable places to live not only in this city, but all of Washington. But it’s not just convenience and natural beauty bringing people from across the globe – more than one-third of the neighborhood’s population was born outside the United States -- to Northwest Bellevue. “I think there are three big reasons people move here,” says Susie Naficy, a resident and member of the Meydenbauer Bay Neighborhood Association who relocated here from New York City 20 years ago. “Appreciating home value, a commitment to public safety and security, and a family-friendly atmosphere.”

Homes range from condos to bayside mansions
There’s a wide range of upscale housing in Northwest Bellevue, where development began as the town transitioned from a sleepy farm community to a Seattle suburb in the 1950s.

Parks accentuate Northwest Bellevue's setting
Meydenbauer Bay Park features a 2.5-acre beach that residents are eager to hit once summer finally arrives in the Pacific Northwest. Kayaking is among the most popular activities here when the weather cooperates, and anglers enjoy fishing from the pier year-round. The park’s sunset views are also known for being among the area’s best regardless of season. The City of Bellevue has plans and funding to expand the park and build a trail connecting it to Bellevue Downtown Park. At the eastern end of Northwest Bellevue, the Hidden Valley Sports Park features baseball and softball fields as well as an indoor Boys and Girls Club and gymnastics center. The city-run Northwest Arts Center, which offers activities including ballet, exercise, pottery, martial arts and yoga, is another popular spot for community gatherings. The hands-on KidsQuest Children's Museum is another family-friendly location in the neighborhood.

A growing shopping and dining scene
"You used to have to go to Seattle for shopping, to eat, to do anything fun,” Naficy says. “In the last several years, people really don’t need to go to Seattle anymore. Now a lot of people are staying on the east side of Lake Washington.” Bellevue Square, a downtown mall with more than 200 retailers, is a popular draw. Within Northwest Bellevue, the dining options match the neighborhood’s multi-cultural makeup – Chinese, Indian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mexican and Thai dining options are all available. Sushi In Joy is a local favorite known for its creative rolls, including nods to Seattle sports teams (Seahawks Roll and Mariners Roll). Just a few footsteps away, Brief Encounter Cafe is a cozy breakfast spot that fills up quickly on weekends. For groceries, there are QFC locations in the north and south parts of the neighborhood.

Convenient access to Seattle, SeaTac Airport
Bellevue’s master plan calls for improved pedestrian access, but convenient vehicular access has helped the area boom since the long-ago days when it was accessed from Seattle via ferry. About a quarter of Northwest Bellevue residents commute to Seattle for work, either via the State Route 520 toll bridge or Interstate 90 bridges. Interstate 405 forms the neighborhood’s eastern border and provides an 18-mile trip to SeaTac International Airport. Bike lanes connect the neighborhood to Downtown Bellevue or north to Kirkland. The King County Metro 246 and 249 bus routes also run through the neighborhood.

Safety drawing Seattle residents
Northwest Bellevue’s CAP Index, which measures crime, is 3 out of 10. “Bellevue is much safer and much more family-friendly than Seattle,” Naficy says. “But it is beginning to experience a little bit of growing pains as people move from Seattle.” Flooding can be an issue in Bellevue after heavy rains, particularly in winter. Northwest Bellevue is more resilient to flooding than other parts of the city, but there are some pockets of flood risk.
