Below shows the actual BELLEVUE neighborhoods

Medina, Yarrow Point, Clyde Hill, and Hunts Point areas are NOT parts of the City of Bellevue.
They are NOT Bellevue Neighborhoods; they are Cities with majority White populations.
In 2015 the City of Bellevue saw % white drop below 50%.

Medina
==== https://www.medina-wa.gov/
Medina was platted February 18th 1914 and officially incorporated on August 19, 1955.
Medina is opposite shore from Seattle on the same peninsula as Bellevue, bordered additionally by Clyde Hill and Hunts Point to the east and water on all other sides.
Bill Gates, along with a number of Microsoft executives, or other associates of Gates, have homes in Medina
Many of the community's early settlers had been farmers, and some of them were still there. More than a few of these farmers were of Japanese descent, but this came to an abrupt end in the early 1940s when they were "relocated" to internment prison camps soon after the United States entered World War II.
With the influx of wealth into Medina, it's not surprising that a golf course and club soon followed. The Overlake Golf Club (later Overlake Golf & Country Club) opened an 18-hole golf course in 1927 on a sprawling expanse west of 84th Avenue NE between NE 12th and NE 24th streets. It closed in 1934 or 1935 and for the next 15 years the land was pastureland, first for horses, then for Herefords.
The club returned in the early 1950s and a redesigned golf course opened on the 132-acre site in 1953. It remains a popular draw today, though membership is by invitation only.
The residents of Medina and the neighboring Evergreen, Hunts, and Yarrow points to the north (the Three Points) had relied on county services over the years, but by the 1950s these were becoming less adequate to meet their needs.
Local residents were also concerned because county zoning regulations allowed smaller lot sizes than what was the norm in the community -- yet they were ambivalent about taking action until, in 1953, Bellevue incorporated -- and Bellevue officials began seeking to annex land adjacent to the new city.
There was a clear sentiment against annexing to Bellevue (or the smaller Clyde Hill, located between Medina and Bellevue, which had incorporated on 10 days after Bellevue did), but beyond that, residents were more divided.
Results of an informal straw ballot put out by the Medina Improvement Club in the winter of 1955 showed that a majority of residents did not favor incorporation of Medina or the Three Points. However, as that winter turned to spring,
Bellevue officials asked to meet with community residents to discuss the advantages of annexation. People saw it was now or never. Dueling petitions went out in the community, one favoring annexation to Bellevue, one favoring incorporation as the City of Medina.
Evergreen Point was included in the incorporation petition, but not Hunts or Yarrow points, whose residents each filed their own separate petitions to incorporate.
The Medina incorporation forces got on the ballot first, and the election took place on July 26, 1955. The incorporation measure passed by a margin of more than 25 percent, 244-135, and became official on August 19, 1955.
2010 Census: 2,969 people, 1,061 households, and 865 families residing in the city.
The racial makeup of the city was 83.5% White,
0.3% African American, 0.2% Native American, 11.7% Asian, 0.1% Pacific Islander, 0.5% from other races, and 3.8% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.6% of the population.

Clyde Hill
==== http://www.clydehill.org/
Clyde Hill was officially incorporated on March 31, 1953.
November 10, 1998, the Council voted to organize Clyde Hill as a non-charter Code City.
Between 1946 and 1948, J. Gordon and Mary Schneidler subdivided and sold more than a dozen lots in a 5-acre subdivision in Clyde Hill. Each deed of sale included the following restriction:
"This property shall not be resold, leased, rented or occupied
except to or by persons of the Aryan race."
2010 Census: 2,984 people in 1,028 households, including 887 families, in the city.
The racial makeup of the city was 84.3% White,
0.6% African American, 0.2% Native American, 12.1% Asian, 0.5% from other races, and 2.2% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.3%

Yarrow Point
==== https://yarrowpointwa.gov/
Yarrow Point was officially incorporated on June 15, 1959.
Yarrow Point is the eastern edge of Lake Washington, lying between the lake's Cozy Cove and Yarrow Bay and nearly all of it north of Washington State Route 520. Yarrow Point is bordered by Hunts Point on the west, Clyde Hill on the south, and by Kirkland on the east.
Until the middle of the twentieth century small farming enterprises that grew strawberries, vegetables, and holly still covered much of Yarrow Point’s 231 acres. Others who settled on Yarrow Point came for the benefits of its country setting.
2010 Census: 1,001 people, 374 households, and 299 families living in the town.
The racial makeup of the town was 86.4% White,
0.1% African American, 0.2% Native American, 8.8% Asian, 0.7% from other races, and 3.8% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.6% of the population.

Hunts Point
==== https://huntspoint-wa.gov/
Hunts Point was incorporated as a city on August 22, 1955.
By the late 1970s nearly all of Hunts Point had been developed, and there's been little significant physical change in the community since. This is hardly surprising, given that the town's land area is only 205 acres, or about three-tenths of a square mile.
Police protection in Hunts Point is provided by neighbor Medina, while nearby Bellevue provides fire protection.
The town's school children are similarly served by the Bellevue School District.
2010 Census: 394 people, 151 households, and 124 families living in the town.
The racial makeup of the town was 80.2% White,
1.3% African American, 0.5% Native American, 10.9% Asian, and 7.1% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.5%.
