Bellevue isn't really an urban city - it is an Edge City. I have spent much time describing the Edge City concept on other threads and this isn't really the proper forum to do so. I will post the wikipedia link and if your are interested in the idea of Edge Cities - read Joel Garreau's book - it is great! Edge city - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Tacoma got my vote. It has all the characteristics you mentioned, and has more walk-oriented areas then Bellevue - Bellevue as an Edge City is dependent on automobile traffic - where Tacoma has areas that thrive on pedestrian flow.
