You can walk to the Seattle 520 Bridge from Bellevue, as shown in Figure 1. There is also a beautiful park and parking lot here. If you like to walk across the bridge, you can reach Seattle. If you like to take the bus, you can also do so. The bus station is just below the parking lot. There are many buses and the waiting time is not long. It is very convenient.

This is a paradise for aviation fans. You can find all the planes you want to see here. From planes from World War I to the latest planes, there is really everything. In addition to aviation planes, there are also aerospace planes. The key is that there are some related to China.

When traveling, I always want to visit the local universities&mdash;it feels like living a different life for a moment. Especially when it&rsquo;s such a famous public university like the University of Washington. Gary Locke, former Microsoft chairman&hellip; they all graduated from UW. Bill Gates&rsquo; father, a well-known lawyer, once taught at its law school. Bruce Lee also studied here, and it was where he met his wife.

Later, I visited UW&rsquo;s Suzzallo Library&mdash;often referred to as the real-life &ldquo;Harry Potter Library.&rdquo; It grandeur rivals that of the Boston Public Library. The UW School of Medicine also ranks extremely high, consistently alongside Harvard and Stanford. Its programs in clinical medicine and public health are also highly ranked.

Afterwards, we visited the UW library, the Suzzallo Library, which is considered a real-life &quot;Harry Potter library.&quot; Its grandeur rivals Boston&#39;s public library. Also, the University of Washington&#39;s medical school is highly ranked, consistently on par with Harvard and Stanford. Clinical medicine, public health, and nursing are all excellent. It&#39;s close to Amazon and Microsoft headquarters, and it collaborates closely with tech companies like Google and Meta, so its research funding is high.
