The cities of Clyde Hill, Medina, Hunts Point,

and Yarrow Point Washington

All four of these cities are located northeast of Bellevue, WA along the eastern shore of Lake Washington. Clyde Hill is the only city of the four cities that doesn’t have waterfront. Although the cities are not part of Bellevue they seem like exclusive neighborhoods along Lake Washington rather than cities from the visitors point of view. In the map below, all four cities lie west of I-405 above and to the left of the “B” in Bellevue.
