Choosing Siding for the Bellevue Climate
Before you pick a material, look at what the Bellevue weather does to an exterior wall over the years:
Climate regions run from 1 (cool) to 5 (hot); Washington sits in region 2.
Damp, shaded walls. North walls and spots under trees stay wet for days. Plan on an occasional soft wash, and use rot-proof materials close to the ground and around decks and steps.
Coastal homes. Salt, fog and wind arrive together on the shore. Fiber cement and vinyl both handle salt well; the weak points are nails, flashing and aluminum trim, so ask what grade the crew uses.
Fire codes. Some parts of Bellevue limit what can go on an exterior wall because of wildfire risk. Ask whether your address is covered - fiber cement passes almost everywhere.
The rainy season here is the cool half of the year. Summer and early autumn are the safest stretch to have a wall stripped open, and that slot books up early. About 7 miles east of Seattle, Bellevue has its own labor market, and the siding prices on this page are worked out for Bellevue rather than taken from the bigger city.
