What a great video. I moved to Olympia in 2002 and miss Bellevue. It is gorgeous and I watched it grow up so beautifully. My favorite restaurant is Gilbert's on Main. Their Apple, walnut Gorgonzola salad is to die for. I would gladly make the trip just for that salad. Thanks for this beautiful video. You made my day.
Nobody can afford Bellevue...unless you bring in 250k/yr household income or you have old money. Maybe some people who work at Amazon or Microsoft. I make about as much as the average american....not gonna happen.
depends on how much space you need for your family. 1 bedroom apartments are not so expensive and you can afford it making around 100k. But if you need more than one-bedroom, then yeah, pretty expensive, a downside of the American lifestyle. There is no demand for urban walkable areas, it develops only in very expensive places.
@@tqlaine How? The median price is 1.5 million. 100k is not even close to being able to cover that mortgage along with utilities and other costs of life.

If it was so great why did you leave?
Very nice.
What a great place!!!
Nice!
The buses are great if you only want to go to Seattle and back....but the bus system going other places there is terrible.
That's true, and unreliable as well.
does it drizzle like Seatle?
Wibbleys is awesome!
Good video 👏
Yeee I live in downtown Bellevue
Yippee.
Yikes, then you’re paying waaay too much for your apartment or house.
_Has nightlife in Bellevue_ ?

So there is no affordable housing/section 8 government subsidized rentals? Like for those who are on welfare or struggling?

Kirkland and Bellevue
How much are condos ?
close to if not more than a million.
How much you got?
Because people love rain and misery. And ridiculous 1030pm sunsets during the summer.
Really? That's crazy.
What’s crazy…did you study basic science in school? Northern states have very late summer sunsets…and early sunsets in winter.
What are the people like there? Are there a lot of folks who…how shall I put this gently….like to watch “the captain whitehater show?”
the people are really nice!! i love in downtown bellevue and every interaction i had was really nice and friendly
