A portion of the Bellevue skyline

This list of tallest buildings in Bellevue ranks high-rises in Bellevue, Washington by height. The tallest completed building in Bellevue is currently the 42-story Lincoln Tower One, which is 450 feet (137 m) high.[1] The building has the distinction of being the first skyscraper to reach the city's 450-foot height limit.[2]

Bellevue's history of skyscrapers began with the completion of the Paccar Tower in 1970; this structure is regarded as the city's first high-rise.[3] High-rise building construction remained slow until 1982, when the city's first skyscraper building boom took shape. Eight of the city's 24 tallest buildings were completed within the next seven years, including City Center Bellevue, which was the tallest building in Bellevue for almost two decades.[4] The skyscraper construction boom ended in 1989, and subsequently only one high-rise which ranked among the city's tallest structures was completed in the 1990s. Beginning in 2000, Bellevue entered into a second, much larger building boom that has continued to the present. More than half of Bellevue's twenty tallest buildings were completed after 2000; nine projects were scheduled for completion in 2008 alone. Overall, Bellevue's skyline is ranked third in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, after Seattle and Portland.[A] As of August 2008, there are 21 completed highrise buildings in Bellevue.[5]

The tallest recent development in the city was the Bellevue Towers project.[6][7] Rising 450 feet (137 m) from ground level, Bellevue Towers Two became the tallest all-residential skyscraper in the city. The building was topped out in early 2008, and is now tied with Lincoln Tower One as the tallest structure in Bellevue.[1][7] As of August 2008, there are 33 buildings under construction, approved for construction and proposed for construction in Bellevue.[5]
