Apple Bellevue Square in Downtown Bellevue.
The Eastside’s Apple Store has anchored Bellevue Square since 2003 — moving upstairs to a glass-fronted second-floor flagship in 2012 and rebuilt around classes and community in 2019.
Apple Bellevue Square is the Eastside’s Apple Store, on Level 2 of Bellevue Square at 213 Bellevue Square in the middle of downtown Bellevue. As of September 2026 apple.com lists the store as open for drop-in shopping, with Genius Bar by appointment, order pickup in store, Today at Apple sessions and a bookable Apple Vision Pro demo, plus sign-language interpretation on request. Inside, it is the familiar Apple floor — long wood tables of iPhone, Mac, iPad and Apple Watch under a bright ceiling — but larger than most mall stores, with a wall of accessories at the back and a forum of movable seating in front of a floor-to-ceiling screen.
DBN has covered the store since its original lower-level location, which opened in May 2003 and once hosted a wedding on iPhone 4S launch day. The big moment was September 1, 2012, when Apple reopened upstairs at three times the size — the largest Apple Store in the Pacific Northwest at the time, with a skylight, the largest glass storefront panels of any mall Apple Store, a 40-seat 360 Genius Bar and 140 employees. In 2015 it was the only store in Washington to carry the gold Apple Watch Edition at launch, and in 2019 a remodel traded the Genius Bar table for 40-plus movable seats and the giant screen that now runs Today at Apple.
Come for a repair, a launch-day pickup or a back-to-school setup; the rest of Bellevue Square is a corridor away. For every store profile in the Collection, see our downtown Bellevue shopping directory.
What You’ll Find at Apple Bellevue Square
The full lineup on the tables, plus the services that make the trip worth it: Genius Bar appointments, in-store pickup, free sessions and a Vision Pro demo.
iPhone, Mac, iPad & Apple Watch
The full Apple lineup on long wood tables, set up to be handled: Apple’s page invites you to shop by drop-in, and Specialists will set up a new device before you leave.
Genius Bar by Appointment
Repairs and troubleshooting, booked ahead on apple.com or in the Apple Support app. DBN watched this store debut a 40-seat “360 Genius Bar” in 2012, then trade the long table for a flexible floor in 2019.
Today at Apple Sessions
Free in-store sessions on photography, music, coding and more, run from the floor-to-ceiling screen and movable seating that arrived with the 2019 remodel.
Order Pickup in Store
Order on apple.com, choose Bellevue Square, and collect in store — the fastest route through the mall on a launch weekend.
Apple Vision Pro Demo
Bellevue Square is listed as a demo location for Apple Vision Pro as of September 2026; book the demo online before you come in.
Where it sits on price: Premium, and fixed: Apple charges the same in store as on apple.com, so the store is about service, not deals. The value is in what you cannot get shipped — a Genius Bar appointment, a same-day pickup, a free class, and a Specialist setting up the new phone before you hit the parking garage.
