I've never thought of Bellevue as a barren wasteland, wonder why he has that characterization.

Well, he says compared to Seattle, not Sao Paolo, and he probably means culturally, shopping, things to do wise, etc...

Shopping in Bellevue is better than Seattle. As for culture the popular parts of Seattle are as homogenous as Portland, and Bellevue at least has a sizable immigrant population from Eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa.

But yes, Bellevue is not the most happening place in the world.

More convenient for basics, yes, but more varied and fancy?

Yeah that. By culturally I meant places to visit and things to do (concerts, book readings, stage plays, parties, gatherings, etc), not just having neighbors of different origins one will usually seldom interact with.
