It looks nice from afar, but when you actually get there it’s a different story. I recently had to go there for work. Bored. Out. Of. My. Mind.
Didn't you go to San Pedro Sq? What about Tech Museum? SoFA is cool with SoFA Market and cool art district. SJ State is also there. How could you have been bored???? Japan town is a nice area.
Oakland has more high rises than San Jose and Bellevue. Oakland has 62 high rises in its downtown, bellevue is in the 40s and I dont remember San Jose's but it's not bigger than Oakland's
Remember: Downtown San Jose has 80 high rises. It's now seeing a huge high rise construction boom that will double the downtown in just 5 years.
This has nothing to do with skylines, it's really not about personal opinions of which Downtowns you prefer. Bellingham and Olympia are nice, but don't belong in this conversation.
Ah, yeah. I conflated skyline and downtown in my head. Reading comprehension fail.
If we are talking strictly about skylines, yes, Bellevue would be in the conversation.
I heavily disagree with the Bellevue vote. I can’t think of a blander, more lifeless downtown on the West Coast than Bellevue’s, besides San Jose. Tacoma actually has a rich history and culture, old buildings mixed with new. Not a petri dish for the tech community. Bellevue is a johnny come lately and I’m not particularly impressed as a Seattleite. I don’t think it belongs in this conversation.
I’d easily prefer to spend an evening downtown in Tacoma, Olympia or Bellingham over Bellevue. Easily. So in my opinion it is only #5 for the state of Washington, let alone the entire West Coast.
I totally agree with you but this is about skylines. In terms of skylines Bellevue is definitely #2 in Washington State. In terms of fun downtowns, I’d put it behind Seattle, Tacoma, Bellingham, Olympia, Spokane, and honestly even several others like Kirkland, Bothell, etc.
Sacramento's skyline is waaayyyy better than San Jose...
Bruh, I use to live in Sacramento and no it's not. But the new DOCO is really sick though.
