South of I-90 the city surrounds an unincorporated part of King County called Eastgate. It is almost all residential.
Since Eastgate unincorporated, it is 1 of 10 potential annexation areas or PAAs in King County's Annexation Initiative. King County would like to rid itself of the cost of providing urban services to pockets of unincorporated suburbia. But due to lacking money, it cannot entice existing cities to annex those areas. King County estimates that it is losing $800,000 per year to Eastgate.
Eastgate has tried to get annexed by Bellevue several times in the past.
