Bel-Red, Bellevue
Bel-Red is an industrial neighborhood of Bellevue, Washington, located in the northeastern portion of the city.
History
[edit]Bel-Red was developed in the 1960s for warehouses and manufacturing facilities, and was named for its location between the cities of Bellevue and Redmond.[1]
The area was re-zoned to support non-industrial uses in 2009,[2] paving the way for the development of the Spring District, a mixed-use district in the western Bel-Red area.
Transportation
[edit]Bel-Red is served by Bel-Red Road, which runs diagonally through the neighborhood. State Route 520 passes to the north of the neighborhood.[3]
In 2024, Sound Transit opened its East Link light rail line, with two stops in Bel-Red: Spring District at 120th Avenue and BelRed at 130th Avenue.
BelRed Arts District
[edit]The BelRed Arts District was first designated as an arts village as part of the 2009 BelRed Land Use Code Update that has facilitated BelRed's transition from a light-industrial and commercial area into a mixed-use, urban district. The original designation was a point on a map near 136th Avenue Northeast and Spring Boulevard, the original location of the Pacific Northwest Ballet's Francia Russell Center.
The BelRed Arts District has a wide array of arts organizations, businesses, artists and makers working across the district, including Theatre33.
