Bellevue is a city in the US state of Washington, in the Puget Sound region. It is a city in its own right but this booming community is often considered a suburb of the larger Seattle, just across Lake Washington. Bellevue is French for ‘beautiful view’ and the city certainly does have some great scenery surrounding it.

Bellevue’s Other Museums In addition to the art museum Bellevue has a couple of other museums to offer. The Rosalie Whyel Museum of Doll Art is one and it contains over a thousand dolls, making this one of the largest doll collections in the world. Bellevue Square Just across the street from the Bellevue Arts Museum is the city’s large shopping mall, called Bellevue Square.
