What Do You Think Of When You Describe Bellevue?

Posted by Larry Cragun

What was it like when you arrived? What would you tell another about Bellevue?

Not a lot would say forests. That is unless you live in Bridle Trails. My first journey to Bellevue was long long ago. Bridle Trails had the featured home of the week for the Seattle Times. What do I remember? 1- Lenny WIlkens lived there. 2- The site agent had a goal to be a millionaire. I wonder if he made it. 3- I couldn’t afford the home of the week, but just the thought of it should have made me start a Street of Dreams. Oh, where was my thinking cap? Love those Street of Dreams, especially those many that Kathleen was a designer for. Do you remember the Castle Home, the one with all of the Chihuly glass throughout. That was hers. 4- The riding trails 5- I was a young landscape sales manager. We landscaped a cool contemporary home. The owner was a rich insurance agent. He must have been, the home cost a whopping $175,000 to build and our landscape project came to $3,000.00 Those were the days, right?

So now I am a techie agent. Am I? Some think so. Lar
