Downtowns Favorite Bagel Shop Moving Location at End of September

Blazing Bagels, a cherished bagel shop in downtown Bellevue, is set to relocate by the end of September 2019, moving from its current spot across from the Downtown Transit Center. The shop will close its doors on September 28 and reopen on October 1 at the former Tully’s coffee shop on 108th Ave NE and Main Street. This decision comes as the existing location is slated for redevelopment into one of Bellevue’s first 600-foot towers, marking a significant shift in the local skyline. Blazing Bagels has earned a reputation as a popular stop for employees commuting from the transit center, and its strong customer loyalty suggests it will thrive in the new environment. The move reflects a broader trend of urban development in Bellevue, which is rapidly evolving to accommodate more businesses and residents.

Residents and commuters alike view this relocation positively, seeing it as an opportunity to retain a beloved local eatery amidst significant changes. The community's enthusiasm highlights the importance of such establishments in fostering local culture and identity. Overall, this transition supports both the growth of the city and the sustainability of a cherished local business.
