Although Bellevue is one of the fastest-growing cities in Washington, it does not have a mini golf course within its city limits. However, for putting enthusiasts or those just looking for time to kill, there are a plethora of additional putting courses located throughout the Seattle metropolitan area, of which Bellevue is a part.
Bellevue
A 2008 CNNMoney article named Bellevue the No. 1 place to start a business---perhaps some mini golf course operators should pay heed, as there is none operating in this bustling city. However, the city is serviced by the Just Putt'n Around corporate events business, which can bring a portable mini golf course for indoor recreation. The business is aimed at senior citizens using wheelchairs.
Tukwila
Tukwila, a small suburb directly south of Seattle, does not have a mini golf course running independently, but it has two hospitality venues with their own mini golf courses as well as other activities. Tucked between batting cages, go-karts, bumper boats and laser tag, there is a mini golf course at the Family Fun Center & Bullwinkle's Restaurant. The other mini golf offering in Tukwila is a putting green, but not a full course, at the Towne & Country Suites.
Seattle
Across Lake Washington from Bellevue is Seattle. Fitting given its relative size compared to the other cities in the metro area, you would think Seattle would have a more mini golf options, but as of 2010 it only features one full course. The Interbay Golf Center features a driving range and a nine-hole mini golf course.
Redmond
Just north of Bellevue is Redmond, which features the Willows Run Golf Center, one of the largest golf facilities in the area. In addition to three courses of regular golf, the facility offers 18 holes of miniature golf called the Rainbow Run. The course is available as a package deal along with a meal for corporate events.
Kent
Kent, located south of Tukwila, has the municipally owned Riverbend Driving Range, which in addition to a 32-hitting station driving range, has 18 holes of mini golf for those looking to improve their short game, and it has lights for night play.
