#21. Bellevue
It’s no surprise that many cities on our Top 100 Best Places to Live list are also on the list for Best Places to Live for Entrepreneurs. Bellevue, for example, has been on the Top 100 list three years running for it’s close proximity to Seattle, many amenities and small town feel. For this list, this diverse community ranked in the top 10 for small business loans, which is no surprise for this high tech hub. Bellevue also ranked high for creative class workers (top 10) and culture (top 10) for the city’s many things to do (as well as the beautiful landscape). Other notable rankings on the list include coming in at the top 15 for educational attainment, top 20 for household income growth, top 20 for transportation affordability and easy access to broadband.
