Buzz November 2024

Congratulations on an impressive summer!

Our data shows that Bellevue's becoming more popular for weekend getaways, with this summer's July and August being the first time weekend occupancy has outpaced weekdays since we began tracking it. Our summer hotel occupancy was at 80% this year, and through September, Bellevue hotel revenue is surpassing pre-pandemic levels at $266 million, which is +19% from last year.

Looking forward, Visit Bellevue continues to ramp up visitor experience. Here's an article from HopCulture (UVPM: 79k) on how to spend 48 Hours Drinking & Eating in Bellevue and a nice feature on Formula Brewing in Issaquah, some info on where to get fresh hops in Bellevue, and more news to know below.
