East Bellevue

With an estimated 2015 population of 135,000, Bellevue is the fifth most populous city in Washington State. Once a bedroom community for the city of Seattle, for decades Bellevue has been a city in its own right. This area of East Bellevue is home to Interlake and Sammamish High Schools, respectively rated sixth and ninth in the State by U.S. News. Flanked by Lake Sammamish on the east, residents prefer the combination of the Bellevue School District and lakefront or lake views on the western shore at a fraction of the price of West Bellevue, especially compared with Lake Washington waterfront.
