Bellevue is a city located approximately 10 miles east of Seattle, and there are several transportation options available to get there as a tourist in Seattle:
Car: If you have access to a car or are planning to rent one, driving is a straightforward way to get to Bellevue. Simply take Interstate 90 eastbound from downtown Seattle, and you'll arrive in Bellevue in about 15 minutes (depending on traffic).
Bus: King County Metro Transit operates several bus routes between Seattle and Bellevue, including the RapidRide B Line and routes 550, 555, and 556. You can catch these buses from various locations in downtown Seattle, such as the Westlake or International District light rail stations. The trip typically takes between 20-30 minutes, depending on traffic and the specific route.
Light Rail: The Link Light Rail system connects downtown Seattle with SeaTac Airport and several other locations south of the city, but it does not currently extend to Bellevue. However, plans are underway to extend the light rail line to Bellevue in the coming years, so this could be an option in the future.
Ride-hailing: Services like Uber and Lyft are widely available in Seattle, and you can use them to get to Bellevue. Just be aware that prices may vary depending on traffic and demand.
Overall, the best transportation option for you will depend on your specific needs and preferences. If you're looking for the most affordable option, taking the bus may be the best choice. If you value convenience and flexibility, renting a car or using a ride-hailing service may be a better option.
