Bellevue Named A 'Best Place To Live' In Washington
Bellevue made the list of 100 best places to live in the state, according to Niche.com.
BELLEVUE, WA - It seems like there's a new list every week ranking this or that city as "best" in something. But so what? It's always nice to get recognized for being a good place to live. Bellevue was ranked as the No. 3 best place to live in the whole state in a new list compiled by Niche.com (Redmond topped the list because of its proximity to tech jobs, proximity to Seattle, and good local restaurants ).
The website used data points like school quality, housing trends, employment, crime stats, and access to amenities to evaluate a community.
"Bellevue is a beautiful city located in the greater Seattle area. Bellevue is often given the nickname of "city in a park" and this is well earned. Bellevue has some of the best public parks and gardens of any city I have ever been to," one Bellevue "reviewer" wrote on Niche.com.
