Bellevue Square

We visited Bellevue Square during our family trip to Seattle and spent about 1 to 2 hours here as part of our Bellevue day. It was a really nice indoor stop for browsing, shopping, food, and letting our 3-year-old daughter take a break. The mall was very clean, safe, and comfortable. Parking was easy when we visited, and the crowds were fine for a Sunday around lunchtime. Bathrooms were also clean and easy enough to use. Our daughter really enjoyed the large indoor play area. There was seating around it too, which was great because we could eat and relax while she played. She also liked the large interactive video screen with butterflies and plants, and there was a pretty floral photo area that was nice for family pictures. We ate at Beecher’s here, which worked out well because I wanted to try it without needing to wait until Pike Place Market. We didn’t buy too much overall since Bellevue Square feels more upscale and some things were on the pricier side, but it was still a very pleasant place to walk around. I’d recommend Bellevue Square if you’re already spending time in Bellevue and want a clean, comfortable mall with good food options and kid-friendly areas. It was a good part of our family day, even if it wasn’t the main attraction.

Absolutely love Bellevue Square! The mall is always clean, modern, and has an amazing variety of stores and restaurants. Parking is convenient, and the atmosphere feels upscale without being overwhelming. Great place to shop, grab food, or just spend time walking around. Staff throughout the mall are generally friendly and helpful. Easily one of the best shopping destinations in the area — definitely deserves 5 stars!

Love the big free parking lot and that it has a Lululemon store! I just wish there were bathrooms on the second floor.

Bellevue Square is one of the most well-designed shopping centers in the region. The interior layout feels open and modern, with large skylights that bring in natural light and make the central atrium bright and comfortable even during busy hours. The multi-level design is easy to navigate, with wide walkways, clear sightlines across floors, and well-placed railings that allow good visibility throughout the space. The mall is consistently clean and well maintained, including common seating areas, escalators, and glass railings. Store selection is extensive, covering everything from major brands to specialty shops, along with a solid range of dining options. Parking access is convenient, and the connection to nearby buildings makes it easy to move between areas without confusion. Overall, Bellevue Square stands out for its architecture, cleanliness, and organized layout. It’s a comfortable place to spend time, whether for shopping, dining, or simply walking through a bright indoor environment.

It was a wonderful time to visit because it was during the holiday season. Beautiful holiday decorations abound; people were milling about with their friends or loved ones, perusing the stores for their Christmas gifts. Loved the Christmas tree, Season's Celebrations where I learned about different holiday celebrations around the world, Santa's reindeers, and Snowflake Lane Factory where families got their photos taken with Santa! There was a parade in the evening that I did not expect to see, so that was an added delight!
