About Us
Zip Tour
The Bellevue Zip Tour is located in an amazing old Maple and Douglas Fir forest in Bellevue, WA. The 6 1/2 zip lines are as long as 458 feet and are as high as 80 feet above the ground. Travel up to 35 mph between views of Mt. Baker and Glacier Peak from inside the branches of a big leaf maple tree, or walking across one of the suspension bridges among the trees. Open April through October, the Bellevue Zip Tour is a natural wonder in the city, waiting to be discovered by you!
Our Partnership
First established in 2006, the Bellevue Challenge Course & Zip Tour is a partnership between Northwest Teambuilding (a Signature Company) and the City of Bellevue. Based on the success of the challenge course, the City of Bellevue decided to expand it's offerings and build a 6.5 line zip tour in the fall of 2013. The Zip Tour began full operations in the spring of 2014, and has been going strong each April through October serving thousands of happy zip liners from all over the world!
