LOL. Upper QA is more walkable (and more enjoyable doing so) than Downtown Bellevue and has higher walk scores for homes than pretty much all the houses in Bellevue. Walking in downtown Bellevue reminds me of walking in downtown Dallas or Atlanta. It's an utterly bleh experience.

And no needles or tents yet in Upper QA.

Sure I have been to all those places. I lived in Wallingford for 12 years.

I've lived in Bellevue for about 17 years, and in that time have seen exactly 2 used syringes, and exactly zero tents. How many needles and tents do you see in Wallingford and Green Lake park?

How many shootings in Seattle just this week? I can't recall the last shooting in Bellevue.

Clearly, your mental telepathy skills are not what you think.

Define "walkable." I walk everywhere I need to go--Doctor, dentist, grocery, park, library, restaurants, etc.

If that is not 'walkable,' what is?

By 'bleh experience' do you mean not getting raped, robbed, confronted by aggressive panhandlers, or stepping on used needles and/or human waste? If so, sign me up for 'bleh.'

I get the numbers. Yeah, there’s more of that on the Seattle side. The problem I have with your comment is when you group all of Seattle as one. There are many neighborhoods, it’s not just one thing. Some areas have challenges, many don’t.
