Overlake, Washington
Region comprising parts of eastern Bellevue and southern Redmond, Washington / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Overlake is the name for a region comprising parts of eastern Bellevue and southern Redmond, Washington. It is in the vicinity of Microsoft's main corporate campus and is officially defined as a neighborhood consisting of the parts of Redmond lying south of Northeast 60th Street and between 148th Avenue Northeast and Bellevue-Redmond Road.[1] The Overlake area, so named because it is located across Lake Washington from Seattle,[citation needed] straddles the boundaries of Bellevue and Redmond and is considered to have its own identity distinct from those of both cities.[citation needed]
