Known as a "Smart City" and a "City in a Park," Bellevue is conveniently located 18 miles from SEA Airport. Bellevue offers a free electric shuttle program connecting downtown, a new light rail system, and proximity to three national parks. Kayakers, paddleboarders, jet skis and boats coexist on the lakes and wetlands, while the downtown offers a modern skyline, a booming multicultural and multilingual culinary scene, inventive entertainment, and the fashion capital of the Pacific Northwest. The high tech and retail industries drive the city's rapid growth, and it remains humble to the evergreen beauty of the wild Pacific Northwest.
