Living in a place where you can interact with people of different cultures, languages, religions and traditions is so important, especially as today's world becomes more and more connected and intertwined.
Statistics show that Bellevue is more diverse than its neighboring city of Seattle. By a decent amount, actually!

Out of those 501 cities, Bellevue ranked 42nd for cultural diversity and 138th for overall diversity, and it ranked as the fifth-most diverse city in the state! For comparison, Seattle ranked 138th for cultural diversity and 180th for overall diversity. Wow!
