Bellevue is a rapidly growing city in King County, Washington, U.S., across Lake Washington from Seattle.
Long known as a suburb or satellite city of Seattle, it is now categorized as an edge city or a boomburb.
In 2003 the Census Bureau estimated the city had a total population of 112,344, making it the fifth largest city
in the state and the largest on the Eastside of King County.
According to the Washington State Office of Financial Management's April 1, 2006 estimate,
the city has a population of 117,000.
Downtown Bellevue is undergoing rapid change.
It is currently the second largest city center in Washington state with over 35,000 employees and
5,000 residents.
Lincoln Square, which opened in 2005, and a recently-completed overhaul of the former Qwest building
into a new City Hall appear to be the leading edge of a development boom.
Over the next few years, the area will see the construction of several additional high-rises and
other projects for office, residential, and retail space.
Based on per capita income, Bellevue is the 8th wealthiest of 522 communities in the state of Washington.
Bellevue is French for "Beautiful View"
