Top Rated Concerts and Shows in Bellevue

"The 5th Avenue Theatre is known as one of the nation's leading musical theater companies, especially for its production and development of new works. Lovers of the arts continue to support downtown Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre with its Essential 5th Digital Collection, a virtual season featuring content that immerses viewers in the very essence of musical theater from the coziness of their own living room. This theater experience features a mix of exclusive original video and podcasting content created by The 5th, as well as livestreamed concerts by theater partners around the globe (including some of Broadway's brightest stars)."

"Before the days of social media, it was considered one of the best places to see and be seen by high society folk. It was also something of a testing ground for productions that would go on to become major Broadway hits, including Hairspray and The Hunchbank of Notre Dame. It wasn’t limited to plays, either."

"If you still have energy, return downtown to see the Seattle Symphony at Benaroya Hall or a rock band at the Showbox. To get downtown from Belltown, hop on a southbound Route 1, 2, 3, or 4 bus from the intersection of 3rd Ave. and Vine St. Exit at 3rd Ave. and Union St."

"Temple Pastries has recently made the transition from local pop-ups to a storefront location and has emerged as one of the best bakeries in Seattle. We love that unique ingredients are used in many of their creations, including buckwheat, rye, and spelt, but what truly sets this bakery apart is their cruffin. A cruffin is a hybrid between a croissant and a muffin that tastes like a match made in foodie heaven, and the one from Temple Pastries is hard to beat."

"Known for its thoughtful use of local ingredients, the longtime pop-up recently opened its first fixed location in the Central District, with a selection of savory and sweet baked goods. Miso caramel muffins, malted milk chocolate tarts, and pistachio schneckens are among the treats, paired with roasts from partner Broadcast Coffee, all available for takeout.

"Chef Sara Eveland has worked in the Seattle food scene for 15 years. She started selling cookies out of Watson’s Counter in Ballard as a way to share something independent of the restaurants she works in. You can also find her cookies at popups like Chachis Pizza, Big Footlongs, and Good Shape Pizza."

"Capitol HillPhebe Rossi’s gluten-free bakery has a cake repertoire of simple yet satisfying proportions. All cakes are decorated in the “naked style” (a hint of frosting on the outer edges, generous heaps between the layers) and can be ordered by phone in a variety of sizes. Or if you’re in a pinch, stop by the shop on 15th Avenue for one of the readymade eight-inch creations."

"This completely gluten-free sanctuary gives gluten-rich cafes all over Seattle a run for their money, and could even convert your staunchly pro-gluten pals. In fact, Nuflours is great for all dietary restrictions, and is available for takeout with online preorders."

"At an area of 11 acres, the Centennial Park, previously known as the Elliott Bay Park is one of Seattle’s most famous waterfront parks. It is often confused with Myrtle Edwards Park since both of them are connected. The main difference is that Centennial Park is operated by Seattle port whereas Seattle City manages myrtle."

"Myrtle Edwards is a city park on the Elliot Bay waterfront, less than a half-mile southwest of the Space Needle and Seattle Center. A standard route to access this beautiful waterfront space is through the Olympic Sculpture Garden. Myrtle Edwards winds next to the shoreline with a 1.25-mile paved bike trail."

"The self-taught Japanese master landscaper Fujitaro Kubota (1879-1973) was a horticultural trailblazer, using time-honoured Japanese techniques while embracing plants and trees native to the Pacific Northwest. Running a successful gardening business in South Seattle, Kubota developed this exquisite show garden, creating hills, valleys, streams, waterfalls, ponds and rocky outcrops in 20 acres. The Kubota Garden was a labour of love spanning five decades and purchased by the City of Seattle in 1987."

"With its neat, symmetrical lines and delicate stones and water wheels, the Kubota Garden will let you travel to Japan without stepping foot out of Washington. It’s one of the most gorgeous places to see in all of Seattle. Part of its beauty comes from the fact that it was a labor of love."

"This semi-secret garden in south Seattle emulates a traditional Japanese garden using the plants of the Pacific Northwest. See All 114 Things to Do in Seattle"

"Army Corps of Engineers, the busiest set of locks in the United States allows water traffic to travel between the tidal waters Puget Sound and the Lake Washington Ship Canal. This waterway passes through Seattle’s inland freshwater lakes, via Lake Washington, Portage Bay, Lake Union and Salmon Bay, where it meets Puget Sound. The locks have permanently changed Seattle, lowering the water level on Lake Washington and Lake Union by 2.7 metres, giving rise to many miles of new land on the lakefronts."

"Seattle shimmers like an impressionist painting on sunny days at the Hiram M Chittenden Locks. Here, the fresh waters of Lake Washington and Lake Union drop 22ft into saltwater Puget Sound. You can stand inches..."

"There's no doubt—there's something intriguing and eerie about seeing two bodies of water, right next to each, at different levels."

"Also often referred to as MOHAI, The Museum of History and Industry celebrates Seattle's position as a leader in innovation and industry. This education facility also catalogs the events that led to Seattle's rise as an important port city. The True Northwest exhibit takes tourists on a journey through the region's history, from Native American cultures through the present, exploring how geography and cultural events like the Gold Rush helped shape the Emerald City."

"Located at the South Lake Union, Museum of History and Industry records every milestone of Seattle since its birth. From the first time that Native Americans came into contact with the Europeans, to how the city was rebuilt after it was burnt down by a devastating fire, as well as how the city got through both World Wars, explore their various award-winning and mind-bogging exhibits, and get ready to be absorbed into these historical moments!"
