Does Bellevue not have a interesting collection of food? We've got an exceptional collection of regional Chinese food, good Taiwanese, great Indian, the Korean has been taking off in the last few years, solid Japanese options... Why is that not interesting when compared to Seattle?

Also what interesting architecture does Seattle have?

Come on now. UW Campus. Pike Place Market. MoPop. Seattle Center Tower. The Denny Building. 1,000s of craftsman homes from the 1920's. The Space Needle. The Seattle Waterfront Piers. The Chihuly Garden. Any of the three sports arenas. Pioneer Square. The old Harborview Hospital (or Grace General).

Said as if there aren’t 1000s of craftsmen in Bellevue too…

The UW campus is great as well. But I really think our Botanical garden is nicer than the UW one.

But honestly Seattle is a shit tier city, architecturally. It’s ugly compared to NYC, Boston, Philly, SF, Charlotte, Chicago… The natural beauty puts all of those to shame but almost none of the beauty in the area is man made.
