It is the high-tech and retail center of the Eastside, with more than 130,000 jobs and a downtown skyline of gleaming high-rises. Although business booms downtown, much of Bellevue retains a small-town feel with thriving, woodsy neighborhoods, nearly 100 beautiful parks, a vast network of trails, top schools and a vibrant economy. Bellevue is routinely ranked among the best mid-sized cities in the country (Livability.com and 24/7 Wall Street). The population is becoming more diverse - according to the most recent census, minorities constituted 41 percent of Bellevue's population and more than 50 languages are now spoken by children in Bellevue public schools.

The city is home to Edmonds Community College, the Lynnwood Convention Center, and the Lynnwood Transit Center, located in the developing city center. Less than 20-minutes from Lynnwood, boating, wildlife, white water rivers, salmon fishing, skiing, native timber and Native American culture are a welcome respite.
