Lake Bellevue
Lake in Bellevue, Washington, United States
About
Lake Bellevue, also called Lake Sturtevant, is a small lake inside the city limits of Bellevue, Washington. Along with Phantom Lake and Larsen Lake, it is one of three small lakes inside the city, which also borders Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish. Sturtevant Creek, a tributary of Kelsey Creek, has its origin at Lake Bellevue and contains Chinook (an endangered species), Sockeye and Coho salmon. In the 773-acre (313 ha) creek basin, 71% of the land has an impervious surface (roads and parking lots).
The lake is named for settler Clark Merrill Sturtevant, a United States Civil War veteran who homesteaded there in 1872.
