The
city of Bellevue is located three miles east of Seattle, between Lake Washington
and Lake Sammamish, and about ten miles west of the foothills of the Cascade
Mountains. Two busy interstate highways converge at Bellevue: I-90 links the
city to the east-west interstate system and I-405 connects Bellevue with the
north-south interstate system.
The city’s resident population of 117,000 and daily
workforce of about 121,000 make it Washington’s fifth-largest city. Bellevue is
a prosperous, increasingly diverse city which has become a cultural crossroads,
evolving from a “bedroom community” of middle class, white families when St.
Louise Parish School first opened in 1961, into the economic and cultural hub of
the Seattle-area’s Eastside with families representing diverse ethnicities and
diverse socio-economic levels. The 2010 census
showed that 40% of Bellevue's population are ethnic minorities, up from 28%
percent 10 years earlier. By
contrast, Seattle's ethnic minority population rose only slightly, from 32% to
34% from 2000 to 2010.
As a thriving central city encompassing an area
of approximately 31 square miles, Bellevue is a major employment center within
the Puget Sound region. Its employment base is expected to grow 30% over the
next 20 years, resulting in an increase of 35,000 new jobs. Bellevue ranks
second in the state in both retail sales and property values. Bellevue has a
thriving business community anchored by quality retail businesses, banking,
services and corporate headquarters offices. Bellevue is the metropolitan hub
for leading high tech companies encompassing such sectors as software
development, internet and network services, multi and digital media, and
biotech. Its prestigious high-rise core provides office space for thousands of
professionals. Bellevue is home to five of the top 25 largest public companies
in Washington. Bellevue is also home to seven of the top 25 fastest-growing
private companies in Washington.
Often, immigrants move to Bellevue and the
surrounding Eastside cities after they've arrived to work at Microsoft or other
local tech companies.
While the downtown core has developed into a major
business and retail center, the city sustains safe and comfortable family
neighborhoods, high quality parks, public safety, and other services.
The quality of the schools is also a draw for Eastside
neighborhoods. The June 2010, Newsweek
Magazine named all five
of the Bellevue School District’s high schools in the top 100 public high
schools in the country.
