Bellevue is a city in the Eastside region of King County, across Lake Washington from Seattle. As Seattle’s largest suburb, Bellevue has variously been characterized as an edge city, a boomburb, or satellite city. In 2008, Bellevue was named number 1 in CNNMoney’s list of the best places to live and launch a business, and in 2010 was again ranked as the 4th best place to live in America.
