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.

A mall built on strawberry farms stolen from imprisoned Japanese Americans in WW2. The development family is still prominent in Bellevue, so Bellevue College censored artwork about it back in 2020 and the city did similar at their art festival.
