It's pretty cool, yet...It needs more density...

8/10

BTW, for the last option on the poll, that pretty much states, 0 is greater than 3.5!

yah i forgot to mention the size of the city....i think its a pretty good skyline for that size. There are many proposals for bellevue such as 5 20-23 story towers at the convention center site, the bellevue technology tower a 23-24? story tower which is on hold, a 34 story office tower which would be the tallest building in belllevue, lincoln square (the picture above with the 42 and 27 story tower) and the list goes on and on. As of right now, there are MANY cranes up throughout the city.....i think 8 right now in DT.

Bellevue is obviously a cluster of office buildings and residential towers located in the suburbs of Seattle. Is it really realistic to rate skylines of suburbs? Atlanta has a number of "Bellvue" type areas, but I wouldn't rate them separately from Atlanta.

However, Bellevue does look beautiful, especially in the pictures overlooking Lake Washington.

it is its own city.....with its own skyline. I never put bellevue with seattle as a cluster skyline of seattle. I dont think anyone does in the NW....its not like LA type or atlanta.

Attractive in a glassine, modern way. I love the contrast of glass and greenery. Density will help a lot, and I've heard that Bellevue is rapidly filling in.

Oh yeah... forgot to mention. I give it a 7.

Nice looking buildings but they are too spread apart to create a really apealing skyline

6/10

Modern and clean skyline with some nice buildings. However it could do with a sligtly taller building, and increased density.
7.5/10
