Views from Downtown Bellevue

从Bellevue的市中心任何一座楼房，可以看到周边很多社区和城市，比如这是从下图红圈标识的地方一栋楼顶上能看到的周边景色，如绿圈所示。

北边的Kirkland，Bothell方向。Ｏ哥哥你在那里就象北斗星，黑夜里指引我们粪勇前进。

正西边被其他建筑挡得严实，就从西南方向看西雅图好了

正南边是Renton，Mercer Island和South Seattle方向。Renton在左手边，Mercer Island在近处的右手边，South Seattle 在中间，好像右手边最远处是Tukwila。

往东看是Issaquah和Sammamish方向。近处是I-405穿越Bellevue市中心一段。

再看看两张近一点的图。近处是Bellevue东区，远处那片房子就是Issaquah和Sammamish。Lake Sammamish看不到，但就夹在Bellevue东区和看到的Sammamish的房子中间的山谷里。远处的群山是Cascade mountains。

亮哥哥就站在那Cascade的顶峰，像冉冉升起的红太阳，照耀着HTK美丽的中青年少女们尖叫，HTK的WSN们落荒而逃。。。

看东南边，Sumerset, Newcastle, as far as Mt. Rainier.

I-405全景， 从南边延伸进市中心

周围的几座大点的建筑

走累了，可以来杯咖啡

Reference

Bellevue is the fifth largest city in Washington, with a population of more than 122,000. It is the high-tech and retail center of the Eastside, with more than 140,000 jobs and a skyline of gleaming high-rises.

While business booms downtown, much of Bellevue retains a small-town feel, with thriving, woodsy neighborhoods and a vast network of green spaces and recreational facilities that keep people calling the place "a city in a park." The city's schools are consistently rated among the best in the country.

The city spans more than 31 square miles between Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish, and is a short drive from the Cascade Mountains. People can kayak within sight of downtown in the Mercer Slough Nature Park, a 320-acre wetland preserve.

The population is growing and becoming more diverse. According to the census, minorities constituted 41 percent of Bellevue's population in 2010, and more than 50 different languages are now spoken by children in Bellevue public schools.
