If you plan on spending a while browsing books and magazine head to the Crossroads Barnes and Noble. While they don't have the music section there, they do have hassle free parking. The whole idea of parking validation for a bookstore, Good guys, starbucks and movie theater was a very poor decision on their part. With plenty of parking in front for the stores there and underground near the back it's easy to see that $$$ was on their minds. When you do spend an hour shopping and have validation, the attendents are rude. Downtown Bellevue will soon be like downtown Seattle.
Pros: Music selection, Starbucks in-store
Cons: Validated parking, rude prkng attendents
