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.

One Double Tall to Go
Community Transit is offering six double-decker buses for auction to the public Oct. 4-11 through Murphy Auction in Marysville. These iconic two-story buses, the agency has dubbed Double Talls, are roomy, seating 70+ passengers each or offering double the space for a creative venture.
Because Community Transit purchases its buses with public funds, when it comes time to surplus them after their transit life is over, they go to auction. These buses are well maintained and have between 190k-250k miles on them.
What would you do with your very own double-decker bus? A food truck might be fun. How about a private holiday lights shuttle? A group ski trip? A two-story motor home to turn road trips into glamping. Imagine the memories (and selfies). The possibilities are endless!
The only question now is: where will your dreams take you?
The auction is available online Oct. 4 through Oct. 11. You can see a sample of vehicle photos at https://murphyauction.com/Auction/Details/9636.
