Beautiful View: Bellevue - Bellevue WA Romantic Getaway

Preview: In French the name Bellevue means “beautiful view.” You and your love will discover no shortage of sights to catch your eyes in this city on the east side of Lake Washington, just 7 miles from downtown Seattle. Some of the views are the natural variety —in the region’s parks and recreation areas, for instance. Others you’ll find indoors—at the city’s fine art museum and the elegant Bellevue Club Hotel. Once upon a time, the Eastside was merely a collection of bedroom communities for Seattle. But that was before the phenomenal growth of Microsoft; before the city’s conference hub, Meydenbauer Center, was built; and before the Highway 520 and Interstate 90 bridges carried thousands of commuters each morning across the lake to the east, as well as the opposite way. Now Bellevue, the most prominent of the Eastside’s urban centers, is the state’s fourth-largest city, with 10,000 residents, a growing downtown skyline, and a blend of natural and upscale urban attractions that’s sure to satisfy the two of you. This chapter is a true insiders’ guide revealing great nightlife, romantic hotels, intimate dining venues, secluded retreats, and much more.
