The Eastside
Getting Here and Around
Buses run to the Eastside, but it's easier to get here by car, though you'll pay a toll crossing the 520 floating bridge, and rush-hour traffic is a nightmare. The other route to the Eastside is I-5 South to I-90 East. Bellevue is the most accessible town by public transportation (www.soundtransit.org). It has a bus hub that's within walking distance of the art museum. The most direct bus route to central Bellevue is the number 550.
