You can walk to the Seattle 520 Bridge from Bellevue, as shown in Figure 1. There is also a beautiful park and parking lot here. If you like to walk across the bridge, you can reach Seattle. If you like to take the bus, you can also do so. The bus station is just below the parking lot. There are many buses and the waiting time is not long. It is very convenient.

This is a paradise for aviation fans. You can find all the planes you want to see here. From planes from World War I to the latest planes, there is really everything. In addition to aviation planes, there are also aerospace planes. The key is that there are some related to China.
