Bellevue, Washington is Fortune Magazine's #1 City For Business "Live and Launch"
Announced on CNN, Fortune Magazine listed Bellevue, Washington as #1, tops to live in and launch a business. The photo is a shot of Bellevue looking west towards downtown. Only a few of the cranes that hover over all the new construction, commercial and residential, can be seen.
According to The Downtown Bellevue blog:
“ The (Fortune magazine) rankings were based on the following: affordable housing, plentiful leisure activities, plentiful cultural options, job growth, sunny weather, short commute time, and good health care access.” The Northwest is a great place to live with the abundance of lakes, mountains, and culture.
Are there issues? Yes, not everyone would agree there’s affordable housing, short commutes, and lots of sun. But the reality is, if we are a dynamic, growing region with the prospect of economic growth, nothing is perfect. However, the whole package is pretty terrific and hard to beat when compared to other parts of the country. Sure, you can find less expensive real estate. It’s all over this country. But the natural beauty, the culture, the job growth, the level of educated citizens fueled by this job growth, is not as strong in these other areas.
Bellevue is an exciting place. People are looking to move to the downtown core and the Eastside in general.
What are your thoughts about Bellevue as the #1 place for small business growth?
