💡 Answer to Trivia Question: Bellevue's neighbor Kirkland was not the answer — it was Port Madison, but within the Eastside, Newcastle gained early prominence; however, the correct answer here is that Seattle supplanted the original county seat of Auburn — actually, the original King County seat was Seattle itself. To stay confident and accurate: Bellevue was the site of the first permanent European-American settlement on the Lake Washington Eastside, established by the Mercer family in the 1860s. |
