Snow! Ice! Crows! And lots of new construction.

I recommend going to a walk or hike through Downtown Bellevue in the winter, when the regular trails are muddy. There are lots of interesting things to see downtown: public art, pocket gardens, fountains, parks, and architecture.

The new projects under construction include:

Avenue Bellevue - International Hotel, shopping, restaurants, and condos. https://liveatavenue.com/

The Eight - 25 story office tower with modern amenities. Public park and retail at ground level. https://theeightbellevue.com/

555 Tower - A Vulcan Real Estate (the late Paul Allen) project. 150 feet taller than any other Bellevue tower. Office plus ground floor public space and retail. https://vulcanrealestate.com/Properties/555Tower.aspx

West Main - Also Vulcan. Three office buildings with a mid-block plaza and public space. https://vulcanrealestate.com/Properties/WestMain.aspx
