Bellevue Median income hits $105k
Might be hard to believe, but a $210,000 income isn't enough to make it to the 'upper' class in Bellevue.
A new study out by GOBankingRates put middle class in Bellevue at incomes between $70,268 and $210,804. Median income in Seattle's biggest suburb is a whopping $105,402.

Re: Bellevue Median income hits $105k
By comparison... the median household income in Medical Lake, WA is $42,000. Same country, same state, same laws. Of course ML doesn’t have a Bell-Square where a young kalm used to go after junior golf tournaments to cruise preppy Bellevue chicks, pick up some sweet RL Polo shirts, and the latest Duran Duran cassette.

According to Kalm's link, I'm at triple the median household income for my zip code.

Re: Bellevue Median income hits $105k
Medical Lake doesn't sound enticing. Perhaps some rebranding could help boost that income...

The waters were rumored once to be medicinal and they had a resort and rail line to it from Spokane in the early 20th century.

And those numbers are deceiving. I've never been to WA but isn't Bellevue really just a part or suburb of Seattle? Meaning comparing "DC" to Bellevue is misleading. Median income in Bethesda, MD is $150,000 and I can tell you that if you make $150,000 you can't live in a nice house unless you inherited it or bought it 24 years ago.

I drive by a nice little brick house on a hill every day, in Silver Spring. It went up for sale. 3br/2.5bath, $899,00!?! Holy fuck! Same thing in Baltimore, with less hum of the beltway, WELL under half that. Like $275-330 range.
I'll keep the 40-120minute thirty mile commute.
