Bellevue (or \u2018beautiful view\u2019) is a city that justifies its nomenclature through its situation on the eastside of Washington\u2019s King County, separated from Seattle only by the picturesque Lake Washington. Though small \u2013 with a population of just over 122,000 \u2013 the city is remarkably prosperous, perhaps owing to the fact that it\u2019s part of the state of Washington which has been relatively unaffected by the economic downturn that sent reverberations across the US. It is ranked 6th amongst 522 communities in Washington for its per-capita income, and can boast Washington state\u2019s 2nd largest city center<\/a>. Indeed, testament to Bellevue\u2019s prosperity is the list of numerous internationally-renowned companies that have their headquarters there.<\/p>\n

The city\u2019s strong economy and recent surge in property development are not the only things to commend it. Bellevue has a thriving culture and, of course, is perfectly situated for those wanting to make the most of what Seattle has to offer without taking up residence in the Emerald City. The sum of all this makes renting in Bellevue<\/a> a well worthwhile investment.<\/p>\n
