Hi there,
Realistically there's good news and bad news.
Bad news is that is a tall order for some of these areas even in this market - especially in West Bellevue. You are likely already discovering this but read this article:
http://blogs.kirklandreporter.com/realkirkland/ - it says it all.
Good news is there are "pockets" out there that present opportunities for you to get close to what you're looking for. Considering your top priorities, I would start looking on the outskirts. The closer in you are the harder it will be to find what you're looking for. Juanita, Kenmore, Totem Lake and some of Rose Hill in Kirkland will get you squarefootage and a long term home for that price. Eastgate and Lake Hills in Bellevue offer sqftage and great freeways access, good schools, are still affordable, and most see a real revitalization coming in those areas in the next 5-10 years.
You list in your top priorities investment potential yet you say you are emotionally attached to this W Bellevue home. You have to think like an investor then and move on and be open minded to other areas or you're going to sabotage your search and your investment.
If you want to look outside of the box, consider Snoqualmie Ridge in Snoqualmie. It's only another 15 minutes or so from Issaquah, easy city commutes, and it's a incredible as far as lifestyile and desireability. Right now you can get huge bang for your buck because they have an abundance of inventory. May be tough to get a MIL, but the rest is there for sure if you're looking for that safe, "neighborhoody" feel.
Hope this helps,
Jennifer
