Building specs

Three towers, one campus — the Eastside's best-positioned high-rise for 2026 and beyond.

Washington Square was developed by Bosa Development across three delivery phases (2009, 2011, 2014). The campus sits directly in the East Link 2 Line corridor — closer to the East Main station than any other Bellevue high-rise tower. For buyers and investors who see the light rail as a long-term value driver, Washington Square is the first address to evaluate.

Amenity stack

Concierge, fitness, rooftop — and the East Link corridor at your door.

Washington Square's amenity package covers the core luxury high-rise features. The differentiator that matters most for daily life isn't on the amenity list — it's the light rail station a 3–5 minute walk away. For buyers commuting to Microsoft, Seattle, or Mercer Island, that changes the conversation.

View orientation

Washington Square trades view height for light rail proximity.

At 24–26 floors, Washington Square's towers are shorter than Two Lincoln Tower or Bellevue Towers. Upper-floor western units get meaningful downtown and partial lake views; lower floors face the urban street corridor. Buyers who prioritize unobstructed lake views should compare Two Lincoln or Bellevue Towers at similar price points — buyers who prioritize the light rail commute should start here.

West / Northwest

Downtown Bellevue, Lake Washington glimpses, Olympics

Washington Square's towers are shorter than Two Lincoln or Bellevue Towers, so lake views are partial to obstructed on lower floors. Upper-floor west units get meaningful views; mid and low floors face the downtown urban corridor.

North

Bellevue Park, north Bellevue residential canopy

Quieter exposure with good light. Popular with buyers and renters who want a residential-feeling interior rather than an urban energy view.

East

Cascade foothills, east Bellevue

Morning light, Cascade views. The value orientation in the campus — same amenity access at the lowest per-square-foot entry point.

South

South Bellevue, downtown commercial corridor

Urban city views facing the Bellevue commercial corridor. Strong light, active street energy below. A solid option for buyers who want a connected, city-facing interior.

Location & commute

The most transit-connected address in downtown Bellevue.

Washington Square sits at the closest point to the East Main light rail station of any downtown Bellevue tower. When the 2 Line opens in 2026, residents get direct rail connections to Microsoft, Mercer Island, and downtown Seattle — no other Bellevue high-rise campus is better positioned for the light rail era.

East Main light rail station (2 Line, opens 2026)3–5 minute walk (closest of all Bellevue towers)

Why work with RexMont

Three towers, three delivery years — we track all of it.

Washington Square's three-tower, five-year delivery timeline means buyers need to evaluate not just the unit but the tower. RexMont tracks resale activity, reserve study position, and comp data across all three towers separately so buyers and sellers have the precision the campus structure requires.

The closest Bellevue tower campus to East Link light rail

Washington Square sits closer to the East Main light rail station than any other downtown Bellevue high-rise tower — roughly a 3–5 minute walk. When the 2 Line opens in 2026, that proximity becomes a daily-life differentiator for Microsoft commuters, Seattle office workers, and car-free buyers.

Three-tower campus creates more buying options

Three towers delivered over five years (2009–2014) means slightly different floor plan mixes, building-system ages, and reserve study timelines across the campus. Tower III (2014) is the newest. RexMont helps buyers evaluate the right tower within the campus — not just the right unit.

Strongest investor and rental fundamentals on the Eastside

Washington Square's combination of unit count, price range, walkability, and light rail proximity creates the highest renter demand of any downtown Bellevue high-rise campus. Investors evaluating rental yield and exit liquidity typically start here. RexMont reviews HOA rental policy and any caps before any investor purchase.

Bosa Development build quality across three towers

Bosa developed both Washington Square and Bellevue Towers. Their reputation in the Pacific Northwest luxury high-rise market is built on consistent construction quality, amenity execution, and HOA setup. Buyers familiar with Bosa's work in other markets (Vancouver, San Diego) bring that quality expectation to Washington Square — and it's generally warranted.

Selling at Washington Square

The light rail story is your strongest listing asset heading into 2026.

Sellers at Washington Square have a headline that no other Bellevue tower can match: the closest high-rise address to East Link light rail. That story belongs in every piece of marketing copy, photography, and showing conversation — and RexMont knows how to use it.

Tower-specific comp data within the campus — Tower I, II, and III have different delivery years and slightly different floor plan mixes
Light rail proximity as a marketing headline — Washington Square's walkable light rail access is a unique selling point no other Bellevue tower can match as directly
Investor-buyer targeting — a large segment of Washington Square buyers are investors seeking rental income and exit liquidity; marketing should speak to cap rate and rental history where applicable
Floor premium analysis within the campus — upper-floor west views and lower floor value entry points create a wide spread that must be priced correctly
Three-tower campus story for buyers relocating from Vancouver or other Bosa markets — Bosa recognition is a meaningful brand signal in specific buyer segments
HOA documentation transparency — three towers with staggered delivery years have different reserve trajectories; buyers need clarity and sellers benefit from presenting it proactively

FAQ

Washington Square questions buyers ask us most.

How many towers does Washington Square Bellevue have?

Washington Square Bellevue has three residential towers, developed by Bosa Development and delivered between 2009 and 2014. The three-tower campus has approximately 600 condominium homes total, making it the largest residential campus in downtown Bellevue by tower count.

Is Washington Square Bellevue close to the East Link light rail?

Yes — Washington Square is the closest high-rise condo campus to the East Main light rail station of any downtown Bellevue tower. The walk is approximately 3–5 minutes. When Sound Transit's East Link 2 Line opens in 2026, Washington Square residents will have direct rail access to Microsoft in Redmond, Mercer Island, and downtown Seattle — a daily-life advantage that no other Bellevue luxury tower matches as directly.

Is Washington Square a good investment property?

Washington Square has the strongest investor fundamentals of any downtown Bellevue high-rise campus: high renter demand driven by light rail proximity, Amazon and Microsoft walkability, and the widest available unit mix at accessible price points. Key investor variables: HOA rental policy (check for rental caps in the CC&Rs), tower selection within the campus (Tower III is newest and may have different HOA reserve position), and unit floor and orientation. RexMont reviews all of these before recommending any investor purchase.

Which Washington Square tower is best?

Tower III (2014) is the newest and has the most recently ramped HOA reserves. Tower I (2009) and Tower II (2011) have more resale history and established comp pools. The right tower depends on your priorities: newer building systems (Tower III) vs. more comp transparency and proven resale liquidity (Towers I and II). RexMont walks buyers through the practical comparison across all three towers.

What are the views like at Washington Square?

Washington Square's towers reach approximately 24–26 floors — shorter than Two Lincoln Tower or Bellevue Towers. Upper-floor western units get meaningful downtown Bellevue, partial lake, and mountain views; mid and lower floors face the urban street corridor. For buyers who prioritize unobstructed lake views, Two Lincoln Tower or Bellevue Towers at comparable price points may be worth comparing.

What are the HOA fees at Washington Square Bellevue?

HOA dues at Washington Square vary by unit size and tower. With staggered delivery years (2009, 2011, 2014), each tower's reserve study is on a different timeline. RexMont reviews the current HOA budget, reserve study, and any special assessment history for the specific tower before any offer.

How does Washington Square compare to Bellevue Towers?

Both are Bosa Development builds with three-floor-plan types and entry-to-luxury price spreads. The key differences: Washington Square has three shorter towers (24–26 floors) vs. Bellevue Towers' two taller buildings; Washington Square is closer to the East Main light rail station; Bellevue Towers has a deeper resale comp pool and an outdoor pool. Buyers comparing the two are usually deciding between the light rail proximity premium (Washington Square) and the view height premium (Bellevue Towers).
