Bellevue

This Muslim Friendly Travel Guide is part of eHalal.io Travel Group

Bellevue is a city in the Puget Sound region of Washington (state) | Washington state and often considered a suburb of Seattle. Bellevue has a population of 350,000.

Bellevue is perhaps the most ritzy neighborhood of the Seattle metro area, mainly due to the presence of Microsoft at nearby Redmond and other tech companies occupying the downtown office towers. It also results in neighborhoods mostly comprising families or retirees with large house and excellent vistas of the water for the lucky few; which reflects on many of the muslim-friendly attractions especially parks. It may actually be more friendly and safer to walk here than in Seattle because of the virtual absence of homelessness. On the flip side however, the experience is somewhat blander than the latter due to less variety of sightseeing options, although the shopping experience can be said as better here.
