I'm with MRC on Bellevue in general. Cool little area with lot's of good restaurants, shopping , hotels etc and within easy commuting distance of downtown Seattle. You are just across the lake and can easily head south to Portland or north to the Outlet malls from there. Best and most comfortable movie theatre I have ever been in is the AMC in Bellevue just across from Bellevue Square. Leather reclining seats with as much space as an aisle in front of your legs. Awesome. Then there is PF Changs - bistro style Chinese food ....Mmmmmmm! Maggianos isn't bad either but more of a chain like restuarant. The restaurant across the street fromn the Westin does the most amazing crab cakes for lunch - full of chopped crab meat, none of this paste nonsense and very reasonable for lunch. The concierge at the Hyatt where we stay has great tips and places to visit. You tell them your price range and they will reccomend the best value for the money in the region.
