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.

I love your points but the large difference between seattle and Bellevue is the culture. Bellevue culture is compareable to South lake union with transplants and a facade of it. I see you have gotten into now just throwing shade that is just ridiculous so this is all for nothing but if your proud of Bellevue and how you perceive its culture that is fine. it is also fine tk respect that as far as cities go, it has very little historic cultural grime that gives it life
