Avenue Bellevue has recently announced that all penthouses have been sold, with the latest sale being Penthouse 2603. This 2,871-square-foot unit was purchased for $8,975,000. However, there are still studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom homes available at both Avenue Residences and Avenue Estates.
The ultra-luxury InterContinental Bellevue at The Avenue opened its doors in July 2024. Marking the brand’s first domestic launch since 2017, this is also the first InterContinental hotel to debut in the Pacific Northwest. Located at the intersection of Northeast 8th Street and Bellevue Way, the hotel offers 208 rooms, with rates ranging from $500 to $7,200 per night. The InterContinental Bellevue boasts 12,000 square feet of event space, including a grand ballroom of 4,250 square feet and a junior ballroom of 2,400 square feet, spread across nine rooms.
I wish there was parking at Avenue; the only option onsite is valet. Wonder where they expect everyone to park when the mall opens, since you can’t park at Bellevue Square and walk over.
Valet is one option. There is also a public garage at Avalon just next door.
For these First Saturday events they are doing free, 2 hour valet parking (with validation). If you haven’t been before some navigation apps have trouble finding it as the stores are using the new name of their little road “Avenue Square” but it used to be known as 103rd Ave NE. And there’s no signs for Avenue Bellevue on 108th or Bellevue Way. Basically, it’s where the Cost Plus World Market used to be. Parking via the Intercontinental valet.
How to become a vendor? I had a retail store in the Hyatt bellevue for 7 years and in Belltown for 21 years closed in Feb due to health reasons.
Is it just a one day pop up?
I have an extensive affluent clientele and am well known in this area who would I speak with about this ?
It would be great if you could comment on major dietary restrictions addressed or not in articles about food / restaurants: gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan.
