Fact text
- Amazon was founded right here in Bellevue by Jeff Bezos, before it outgrew the garage and moved across the lake to Seattle.
- The city's name literally means 'beautiful view' in French, and on a clear day you really can see both the Olympic AND Cascade Mountains from downtown.
- Bellevue once threw a massive Strawberry Festival in the 1920s that grew to draw 15,000 visitors, to a town of only about 2,000 people.
- Valve, the company behind the Steam gaming platform and the Half-Life series, calls Bellevue home, making it a quiet mecca for gamers worldwide.
- Before a bridge opened in 1940, Bellevue was mostly rural farmland, yet one ambitious developer predicted in 1928 it would hit 200,000 people and fill up with golf courses and airports.
