4. Bellevue, WA
Population: 124,000
Unemployment: 5.8%
Pluses: Natural beauty, excellent schools, diversity 以其自然風光、優質學府、多元化風貌聞名全美
Minuses: Pricey real estate, rain
If forested cityscapes are your thing, this is your kind of place. Bellevue's compact downtown bristles with new skyscrapers that seem to hover above Lake Washington -- and when the clouds part, mountain views loom.
Real estate isn't a bargain, but the town's jobless rate is more than two points below that of the Seattle metro area, thanks to a recent influx of jobs from such employers as Microsoft (which has moved 6,500 positions here), T-Mobile, Verizon, and Expedia. In fact, Bellevue has more jobs than it does residents.
最近一波的工作職缺釋出,微軟公司, T-Mobile等大公司提供Bellevue大量的就業機會。
And the population is diverse: Nearly a quarter of residents are Asian, and nearly a third are foreign born.
人口的組成相當多元,附近也有亞洲居民,有將近三分之一的國外移民。
The town's high schools consistently land at the top of state rankings; despite school funding cuts throughout Washington, the town has been able to enhance special ed and gifted programs. There's an embarrassment of arts and entertainment riches, including a philharmonic orchestra, fine arts museum, children's museum, botanical garden, youth theater, annual jazz festival, and 74 (!) parks.
Bellevue的高中仍保持全國之冠; 即使目前華盛頓州政府的預算縮減, Bellevue仍然能夠繼續提升各項教育課程。更甭論在藝術文化及休閒娛樂方面之豐富性, 愛樂交響樂團、美術館、兒童博物館、植物園、青少年劇院、年度爵士樂節盛事, 以及74座公園!!!!!
