Overlake, Washington

Overlake is the name for a region comprising parts of eastern Bellevue and southern Redmond, Washington.

It is in the vicinity of Microsoft's main corporate campus and is officially defined as a neighborhood consisting of the parts of Redmond lying south of Northeast 60th Street and between 148th Avenue Northeast and Bellevue-Redmond Road.

[1] The Overlake area, so named because it is located across Lake Washington from Seattle,[citation needed] straddles the boundaries of Bellevue and Redmond and is considered to have its own identity distinct from those of both cities.

[citation needed] It is also the home of the Civil Air Patrol Overlake Composite Squadron.

[2] Historically, the term referred to a much larger region of King County that is collectively known today as the Eastside.
