#12. Not too surprising. Bellevue is a pretty great city (although rather bland, but Seattle is just across the bridge), our public schools are ranked pretty high and it's overall a very wealthy city. We have Bungie and Valve, and Microsoft isn't headquartered here, but they do have an office building in downtown. Great place for engineers and game design as well as music.

Although I'm a bit surprised at the "demographics" rating. In my opinion we're as white as it gets. But I guess there are a fair amount of Middle Eastern, Indian and Asian people.

If you're surprised, you haven't been paying attention. There has been a huge influx of the populations you mention to the eastside in the last decade or two.

I really haven't been paying attention. I just think of Bellevue as being really white because the vast majority of my friends and graduating class are white. Also because Seattle is one of the whitest big cities in the US.
