Where to Stay When Visiting Paccar (Bellevue)

By Rachel Julian, Editor-in-Chief · · 5 min read

Paccar's headquarters is in downtown Bellevue. The city core rides the Link; the Eastside is across the lake. Which side your campus is on decides the trip.

Direct answer: Visiting PACCAR's Bellevue HQ (777 106th Ave NE): stay in the downtown Bellevue area near the office. Stay in downtown Bellevue near Paccar — the hotels cluster around Bellevue Square and the transit center, walkable to the offices and on the 2 Line. The Eastside is its own base; downtown Seattle is across the lake and off-mission for a Bellevue visit. Seattle-Tacoma International (SEA) is about 30 minutes southwest of Bellevue across Lake Washington. One airport — and the Link 2 Line (East Link) now serves downtown Bellevue and Redmond, though for the airport run a car or rideshare is still simplest from the Eastside.

PACCAR is a maker of heavy-duty trucks (Kenworth, Peterbilt, DAF), headquartered at 777 106th Ave NE, Bellevue, WA 98004. That's downtown Bellevue — the Eastside's high-rise core across Lake Washington from Seattle, home to Paccar, T-Mobile (in nearby Factoria), Puget Sound Energy, and a growing roster of tech offices, now on the Link 2 Line.
