Images of downtown Bellevue, Washington, from the 1950's to the 1970's. In the days when Bellevue Square was a square, McDonald's had golden arches, and what is now Barnes and Noble was once a bowling alley. Featuring the music of Eumir Deodato. Most of the images from this presentation were graciously supplied by the Eastside Heritage Center. Visit their website at:

    Wonderful! Thanks for putting that film together--I have many memories of growing up in Bellevue in the 60s.

    Thanks for the memories! I was born and raised in Bellevue on top of the hill by the high school graduating there in '72. I walked all over this town, knew it like the back my hand. I loved the Bellevue Square, how special it was. Remember: Toys Cafe, Johnson's Grocery, Ibsen's Towing, House of Values, Smitty's Pancakes, Arthur's Bakery,The Milk Barn, Dicks Drive in,the old Boys club and my beloved Bellevue Jr High was still a school and not a city park.We lived in a great era and town,thanks .

    wow - a trip down memory lane - I remember most of this (I was born in 1950)...I also remember the dog's watering station outside Frederick's...and the wonderful ten cent store southeast of Frederick's...I also had my first car accident while trying to park in front of Nordstrom Best..

    Yes! There was a sign above the station that read, "DOG BAR". And the 10 cent store was Petram's..

    I was born in 1968. My family moved to Bellevue in 1977. My brother graduated from BHS in 1978. He was the voice of KASB that year. I learned how to shoot pool at the Boys Club, after football practice. I remember quite a bit from 1977-1988. Geno's had THE BEST PIZZA!. The Bowling Alley had the best drugs. Metro busses ran like clockwork..And remember the Tiki Carwash, on 8th?.. I stole the totem pole, back in 1988. Woops..

    Places come and go in Bellevue but the Mustard Seed Tavern remains. What? the Mustard Seed on Main is now closed? WTF?! First Maxi's Broiler, then the Jolly Boy and now the Mustard Seed. Bellevue is losing its soul.

    I've never lived in Bellevue, but I live not far from Bellevue, in Kirkland and Redmond. I have worked in Bellevue a few times in my life. There are some things I remember about Bellevue as a boy. I remember there used to be a Pizza and Pipes. My mom worked at the John Danz movie theatre, next to what's now Barnes and Noble books.
