The Puget Sound Business Journal featured photographs of Bellevue in the recently published Annual Book of Lists.  They cited the focus on Bellevue as being due to its increase of private sector jobs of late.  While Seattle lost 1.9% during 2000-2008, Bellevue gained 8.2% in the same timeframe.

The Journal concludes that Seattle may become a city of residents who work in the suburbs.  Quite a change from my youth and also indicated by the huge increase of reverse commuters on 520 each day.
