MAIN STREET
Bellevue's Offering of Charming and Sophisticated Cuisine and Shopping
Saturday, August 21, 2010
Bellevue's Main Street is Bellevue's precious gem - charm preserved in a thriving commercial City. It's a regular haunt of Eastside locals for both fine and casual food and sophisticated shopping. It is often on the itineraries of respected national food critics, stopping by to taste fine cuisine from the distinguished restaurants.
"Main Street in Old Bellevue continues to exude charm and character in an urban center that is rapidly evolving. The entrepreneurs who front Main Street have persevered through tough times, ongoing parking shortages, development pressures, and steady competition. Despite these challenges and a century of change from orchards to skyscrapers, Main Street in Old Bellevue offers a unique and successful collection of authentic, owner/proprietor retail and dining establishments." Bellevue Downtown Association 2007 Place Maker Award Winners.
