Finding cheap gas in Bellevue (98008)
Eastern Bellevue feels different from the downtown side. This ZIP centers on Crossroads and Lake Hills, a densely populated, notably diverse part of the city where the Crossroads Shopping Center at NE 8th and 156th Avenue NE serves as a genuine community hub with its international food court and events. To the south, Eastgate runs along the I-90 corridor.
The fuel competition here is healthier than in the pricey western core, anchored by the retail traffic around Crossroads and the commercial stretches feeding I-90 and I-405 near Eastgate. Stations along the busier arterials and shopping crossings tend to lead, while the established single-family streets of Lake Hills hold fewer pumps.
Washington's fuel tax keeps the baseline high statewide, but the Crossroads and Eastgate area generally offers more competitive everyday prices than downtown Bellevue. A quick comparison near the shopping center or the I-90 access is the easy way to land the lower one in 98008.

How to save more on gas in Bellevue
1. Use warehouse clubs
Costco and Sam’s Club typically price 15-25 cents per gallon below nearby stations. Membership pays for itself within a few fill-ups.
2. Fill up early in the week
Stations often raise prices Thursday for weekend demand. Fill up Monday through Wednesday to avoid the lift.
3. Keep tires properly inflated
Properly inflated tires improve fuel economy by up to 3 percent at current prices. Check pressure once a month.
4. Check back tomorrow
Prices can shift 10-20 cents overnight during volatile markets. A quick check before you leave home avoids paying yesterday’s spike.
5. Pay cash at split-pricing stations
Stations with cash and credit split pricing typically save an average of 10 cents per gallon when you pay cash.

About gas prices in Washington
Washington's gas tax sits around 49 cents per gallon, third-highest in the nation, plus the state's Climate Commitment Act adds a few additional cents to fund emissions reductions. Refining capacity is concentrated in the Anacortes-Cherry Point corridor north of Seattle, and the state is part of PADD 5 (West Coast), which often experiences supply tightness due to limited pipeline connections to Midwest fuel. Costco (founded near Seattle), Sam's Club, Fred Meyer, and Safeway fuel are the most reliable for value across the Puget Sound metro and Spokane.
