Bellevue Square Mall is one of the nicer malls in Washington. They have a wide selection of stores…read moreand are always adding more! Their food/drink stores are also great; they have a variety of different boba stores, which I love! Every store I walk into, I always feel welcomed! I've never ran into any issues or problems at Bellevue Square. I love how they host events for different cultures/holiday events. Finding parking is always easy! And comparing this place to other malls, there's never been any huge incidents or any violent mishaps like (shootings). Bellevue Square always feels safe!

Bellevue Square mall somehow manages to feel both overcrowded and lifeless at the same time. The…read morestore selection is incredibly repetitive... just the same upscale yuppy chains over and over so nothing really stands out or feels worth browsing if you're not there to buy generic clothes. On top of that, the layout isn't at all confusing but because everything looks so similar it's surprisingly easy to get turned around and lose your sense of direction. Many of the stores were uncomfortably warm, which made it hard to spend much time inside without wanting to leave. The crowds only make things worse, people seem completely unaware of their surroundings and stand directly behind you, constantly cutting you off or walking straight into you without a second thought. For a place that's supposed to be a premium shopping destination, the overall experience felt chaotic, uncomfortable, and yet boring. In every store, employees kept asking if we needed help, even after we repeatedly said no. Prices were consistently high for no apparent reason, and it was all frustrating enough that we ended up not buying anything at all. One nice thing I can say is that it is very tidy.

I've been to this supercharger a couple of times. There is a Starbucks and a Fred Meyer here as…read morewell as a Best Buy if you want to browse a little bit. There is also an InSpa so theoretically you could go get a massage while charging up, which is not a bad idea. There are not the fastest speeds I have seen, but for an urban supercharger it's not bad. Much better than Lynnwood. The downside is that it's often very busy here so make sure you check before you come.

Great location in terms of food options or things to do while you charge. You've got Qdoba, Panda…read moreExpress, Starbucks, Fred Meyer and Coldstone. Knocking of a star because this location is VERY busy. And it seems to be a bit of a hangout spot where people linger. Check before you come or it's likely you'll be waiting some time for a spot. Tesla, we need more stalls in Issaquah!!

EVGuys saved me $4000 and provided a better result…read more I needed a higher amp outlet installed in my garage to charge my car. I had gotten a bunch of disheartening quotes from other electricians ($6-7k for a 20A outlet). They all told me that my panel was full and the main cost was to add a new panel. EVGuys took a look at my panel and told me they could save me that money simply by consolidating circuits on my existing panel. Better, they installed a Tesla native wall charger instead of a simple 20A outlet for $2400. SO GLAD I FOUND THEM. Throughout the process they were responsive, transparent, and professional. Would 100% recommend.

Excellent experience e2e. They provided all information upfront including working with me to ensure…read morewe have space in our breaker (it was not straighforward due to unused breakers which we had to confirm where actually not in use etc.). the Quote was competitive, then scheduling was easy. the service including the follow-up with county inspector etc. was seemless.

Loved my short stay at this hotel! Was only here for 1 night but would totally return if I come…read moreback to the area. Pros: - Super convenient and walkable location, really close to restaurants, dessert places, and parks - Awesome room with modern, and calming with muted colors and recessed lighting. - Nicely lit restroom with rainfall + hand-held shower heads, nice water pressure. Plenty of space near the sink to lay out all your toiletries :) - the bed was more on the firm side (yes!!!) and the sheets were silky and comfortable -- super nice settling in for the night ^_^ - In room fridge and safe - 24/7 clean and basic gym - Coffee in the lobby (and occasionally, cookies!). Lobby is also nice to sit in if waiting to check in or for people - Friendly staff! - Bag check: I like how they store your bags right behind the front desk instead of in a room somewhere else. It felt safer / nice to see my bags (and pastries!), haha~ Cons: - Tiny bottle of lotion, would be nice to have a full size one to reduce waste as well - view from the room wasn't great with nearby construction, but that's not really their fault! - the fridge was cold but think it was de-icing, as it had icicles at the top and there were big drops of water on whatever I put in the fridge - the valet area always seemed disorganized with cars parked at weird angles and the street being closed too. Hard for cars to get in and out - if anyone has some problems walking, the entrance is near an uphill slope so might be hard to get up / down Overall, loved my stay and wished I stayed longer! I'll be looking for AC hotels in other cities, hopefully they'll be just as nice!

Just recently stayed in June 2025. We literally moved to 3 different rooms and they were all very…read morewarm with the air conditioning not functioning even after the engineer came to "fix" it, the fan turned on but not the compressor so it was just circulating warm air. After the 3rd room, we gave up and just dealt with it for the 2 nights we stayed. It's a nice hotel with friendly staff but not very comfortable when the rooms are warm in the summer.

As a foodie, I'm slowly but surely eating my way through this shopping center! I can't say my…read morewallet is happy about it, but I've enjoyed a number of meals here over the years, especially as new spots have popped up. The selection is pretty diverse in terms of types of food - burgers, ramen, pasta, sushi, pizza, Thai (vegan) and more... it's all here! For a little treat, grab ice cream at Salt & Straw, a boba tea from Don't Yell at Me, or a coffee and pastry at 203º Fahrenheit Coffee. It's tough to resist any of these. With this being an outdoor shopping center, it's the most lively during the spring and summer. There is a main outdoor seating area near the cinema and tables here fill up pretty quickly during the warmer months with people who opt for takeout from one of the casual eateries. Across the street, smaller sections of seating are accompanied by fireplaces. I've been grateful for the fireplaces and heat lamps during the wintertime! Other than exploring the food options, I enjoy browsing Nordstrom Rack and could spend hours at the Barnes & Noble. Trader Joe's and Whole Foods are also here. Along with these larger stores, there is a variety of small boutique-like shops, providing an opportunity to support the small businesses. As for parking, the main lot in front of Trader Joe's and Nordstrom Rack get pretty crowded, so I'd recommend parking in the garage on the side of Chase bank. Each parking spot in this garage has a light over it that turns red if occupied and green if available, making it really easy to navigate. With spring right around the corner, I'm sure I'll find myself here again shortly!

This is an example of a well done mixed-use area/center. It has retail, restaurants, office space,…read moreand even residential apartments! I initially had some reservations about finding parking since the outer lots were pretty full and busy due to the Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, but as I walked into the middle of the area, I realized that there were also free parking garages that I could have used. Thoughtfully enough, they even had the number of spaces available displayed on the entrances. This place must get super busy to need that feature! I liked how the greenery was well kempt, and how there were navigational signs so you don't get lost. I went to the Paper Source, Due Cucina, and Don't Yell At Me. Super convenient! I guess the only thing I wished it could have was a better way to travel there through public transportation.

I love going to local brewpubs and microbreweries when traveling. So when I saw this location of…read moreBellevue's largest microbrewery, my wife and I had to stop in for an early lunch with a sampling of beers. The food and beers were great. As the name states, the very large brewpub is located in the Spring District, inside the park/greenspace. The district used to be an industrial area, that has been transformed into a mixed residential/retail area, centered around the light rail transit station. The brewery makes great use of the outdoor space, with a lot of seating for an impromptu biergarten on nice days. This Tuesday was a typical March day in Seattle, which meant dining inside was a must. We ended up finding street parking a couple of blocks away, though they do have validated parking: in the underground parking right below (with under 10 dedicated spots) and the bigger Spring district Parking garage nearby. Amanda was our server, and she was super friendly, giving us suggestions. They have a large selection of house brewed beers, and we chose eight of the non-IPA ones as two flights, consisting of 4 5oz glasses (assuming it cost $12). We tried the Harvest Boom P.O.G. Wheat (this was our favorite one), Bothell Brown (liked this one), Snake Charmer Irish Red (strangely very mild for a Red), ChugMeister Mazren Lager (my second favorite). Second flight consisted of 1882 Pre-Prohibition Lager (very crisp and light), Muckle Flugga Scotch Ale (really like Scotch Ale in general, though hard to find on the West Coast...thought this version was OK), Schwarzbier Black Lager (different, very mild, really enjoyed), and a Der Kommissar Pilsner (super light with no body). I don't think I've been able to choose two flights of non-IPA in-house beers before...they keep a very large selection here, and it's worth coming to, just for the draft beers. We ordered some bar food that both of us like, and each plate was excellent. Shareable thick cut fries ($11) was very filling, especially since they were fried very well and were sturdy enough for dipping. Got Scotch Ale Chili ($13) and it was hearty, with plenty of pinto beans and good ground beef, with not too much chili powder. It came with housemade tortilla chips, which were thin and excellent. Wanted to try their beef birria, ordered their birria Nachos ($19) and it was really well prepared. Everything was diced into small pieces, used a really good beer cheese sauce and the the fresh guacamole was solid. For a brewpub, it has excellent bar food. The portions were large...we ended up taking about half of it home. Next time, will stay longer and try some of their main course dishes. The room was modern with plenty of windows for natural light. The central bar is huge, but there are plenty of bar tables as well, letting patrons decide how they want to dine/hang. My only complaint was that the payment process was at the table with only a tablet, and gave me no chance to look at the receipt. The total seemed right and was expecting a chance for receipt, but Amanda grabbed the tablet after my tip and signature before I could ask for a digital receipt, and then disappeared. I suppose I could have tracked her down, but getting a receipt after a meal should not be that hard. Can't remember the last time I was out, and couldn't get a receipt easily...would have made this review a bit easier.

This is definitely my favorite eastside brewery - if not Seattle area brewery in general. Not sure…read morehow I haven't posted a review before!? I'm not a huge IPA fan, but they always have something malty or lager-like on the menu, too. Food is, IMHO, solid. Burgers are good, the fish and chips can be greasy but are usually quite good. Wife seems to like the chili and gluten-free pizzas. Staff are always awesome characters with a (fun, good) personality. Usually some game is on the TVs, and depending on time of day/week/year the crowd varies. Go visit. Breweries are closing because the younger generation's drinking less. You don't have to drink a ton, just support a local place with good food, vibe, and drinks (there's plenty of NA things).

I currently don't have an at-home charger for my Tesla MY. So when I don't have time to drive to…read moreTesla Supercharger in Issaquah, I come the EVgo station at the Renton Landing. They aren't as fast as the Superchargers but, less expensive, $0.29/minute vs $0.48/minute at Supercharger. However, it's allotted charging time is 1 hour, so if your battery is very low you may not be able to charge to the recommendation of 80% in that time. That being said, it is easy to kill an hour walking with some coffee/donuts while I wait. David G.

For now, this is a 3 Star. Why?…read more Paid parking minimum is $8 for an hour. This is located in the brand new "Eighth" building in Bellevue a couple blocks from Bellevue Square. Within this building there are no businesses that you can visit and shop to get parking validation. So while the V4 = 350kwh charging, very fast, my charge was low at 20%, filled up to 93% for a cost of nearly $13 + 8 parking = $21 for total visit. Part of getting an EV is to have drastically lower fuel charging and a $13 fuel up is fine for a V4, but that extra $8 makes this stop unattractive until/if there will be businesses within the building that open up that will validate.
