Historic residential and commercial neighborhood · Wilburton
Wilburton
A historic neighborhood east of downtown known for wooded parks, the Bellevue Botanical Garden, and a commercial district slated for the Grand Connection.
Wilburton is one of Bellevue's historic neighborhoods, located just east of downtown across Interstate 405. It is an enclave of single-family and multifamily housing valued for its rich history, parks, and wooded areas, offering a residential calm within minutes of the urban core.
The neighborhood is bracketed by major green spaces, including the acclaimed Bellevue Botanical Garden and the 160-acre Kelsey Creek Park with its working demonstration farm. These parks give Wilburton an unusually green, established character for a neighborhood so close to the city center.
Wilburton's commercial district is planned as a key destination for the Grand Connection, a pedestrian corridor envisioned to link across I-405 and through downtown to the Meydenbauer Bay waterfront, positioning the historically low-key area for greater connectivity and future growth.
