History

Bel-Red was developed in the 1960s for warehouses and manufacturing facilities, and was named for its location between the cities of Bellevue and Redmond.[1]

The area was re-zoned to support non-industrial uses in 2009,[2] paving the way for the development of the Spring District, a mixed-use district in the western Bel-Red area.

Transportation

Bel-Red is served by Bel-Red Road, which runs diagonally through the neighborhood. State Route 520 passes to the north of the neighborhood.[3]

In 2023, Sound Transit will open its East Link light rail line, with two stops in Bel-Red: Spring District/120th and Bel-Red/130th.
