About Bellevue
Bellevue is a city in the Eastside region of King County and is located across Lake Washington from Seattle. It is the third-largest city in the Seattle metropolitan area and is home to some of the world’s largest tech companies. Companies currently headquartered there include PACCAR Inc, T-Mobile, and Valve. Microsoft is also a major employer in the area. People traveling to and from the area can choose from a robust bus network, the expanding East Link Light Rail, and express bus routes to adjacent cities such as Seattle. Local transit centers are a major hub for many of these regional transit options, including Community Transit buses, DART paratransit service, and Vanpool riders. Local bike trails and parks also offer nearby options for pedestrians and bikers.
