Walking Tours
Bellevue Self Guided Walking Tour
The Bellevue Self Guided Walking Tour explores the traces of Bellevue’s past hidden in parks and plazas, meet the art that shapes its present, and step into cultural spaces that reflect the many voices who call this city home. From quiet memorials and historic shorelines to bold sculptures and colorful murals, each stop reveals a piece of Bellevue’s journey and invites you to see not just the city that stands here today, but the roots and stories that continue to shape it.
Early Bellevue Walking Tour
Eastside Heritage Center presents the Early Bellevue Walking Tour, a self-guided tour with 24 sites intended to share some of Bellevue's early history with visitors and the public at large. The tour begins at NE 8th Street and Bellevue Way, heads south to the Downtown Park, then west to Meydenbauer Beach Park, along the waterfront, and then back up into Old Bellevue, covering a number of historic sites along Main Street.
