Barnes & Noble Downtown Bellevue is Bellevue's largest bookstore and a popular destination for residents and visitors alike.

This huge store features an extensive selection of books about computers and other technology topics along with a very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Many comfortable chairs are provided for your reading enjoyment, and there is an attached Starbucks coffee shop for your drinking and munching pleasure. Both the bookstore and coffee shop provide WiFi service.

When you visit, be sure to note the unusual interior. This building was formerly a bowling alley, and the once high-tech domed ceiling structure has been meticulously restored.

Barnes & Noble Downtown Bellevue is conveniently located slightly east of Bellevue Square on 106th Ave. NE and can be reached at (425) 451-8463. (No website is available at this time.)

Barnes & Noble Downtown Bellevue provides the space for BELUG meetings as well as publicity in their monthly events bulletin.
