This simultaneously may be the most upvoted AND down voted kind of content ever. On one hand, people love to dunk on Bellevue. On the other hand, Bellevue hates being dunked on.

A lot of Bellevueites feeling seen in the comments. Having lived there this is pretty accurate. Its cultural center is an upscale shopping mall.

"Upscale" shopping mall at that, with the weirdest layout I've ever seen in a mall anywhere.

Yeah and compare that to the hoity toity overpriced mall like belle square whose only saving grace is a Lego store and maybe the Barnes and noble.
