About

In Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, three streets with the same names intersect, resulting in a unique and perhaps confusing street sign. All streets have the same primary name of "Bellevue." Bellevue Avenue E. is the primary street, but short segments diverge from the main street at this intersection. These secondary streets are Bellevue Court E. and Bellevue Place East. The intersection sign is iconic.

A short drive to the east is the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge, which crosses Lake Washington and links Seattle with the city of Bellevue.
