Standing outside the angular glass façade of the Bellevue Arts Museum, the city unfolds in clean lines and green pockets — a short walk leads to plazas, sculpture gardens, and wind-swept viewpoints over Lake Washington. The scavenger hunt routes thread through downtown streets and into waterfront paths, turning ordinary blocks into a series of small discoveries: public art that dares you to look twice, plazas that beg for pause, and waterfront breezes that push you toward Meydenbauer Bay.

Bellevue evolved from 19th-century logging and orchards into a post-war suburban center and, later, a tech-influenced urban core—its name literally means "beautiful view."
Conservation
Bellevue invests in urban green spaces and waterfront restoration; visitors are asked to stay on paths, pack out trash, and avoid disturbing shoreline habitats.
