The Bellevue Transit Center is the principal bus hub for downtown Bellevue, occupying a block of NE 6th Street between 108th and 110th avenues. The original facility opened in 1985 for about $5 million, and a rebuilt and expanded center opened in 2002 at a cost of roughly $21 million.

The center is served by King County Metro, including the RapidRide B Line, and Sound Transit Express buses, with around 20 routes using a dozen bus stands. Amenities include bicycle lockers and racks, customer service, and restrooms.

It connects directly to the adjacent Bellevue Downtown 2 Line light rail station, which opened in 2024, and is planned to anchor two future Sound Transit Stride bus rapid transit lines.
