History of Bellevue

The Bellevue area has long been home to Coast Salish peoples, including the Duwamish and Snoqualmie. Europeans began settling in the area in the 1800s and named the location Bellevue for “beautiful view” in French.

At that time, settlers began to mine the land and log Bellevue’s forests, transforming the area into a farming community. In 1940, the Lake Washington Floating Bridge was completed, connecting Bellevue to Seattle. New businesses emerged, and new residents came to call Bellevue home.

The City of Bellevue was incorporated in 1953 and started annexing adjoining areas. Once considered a suburb of Seattle, today Bellevue is known as a sophisticated city in its own right and a center for technology and retail.
