Don't have time right now, and I realize it's a stub. Nevertheless the linked page in the article states a whole different Historical Perspective (copy/paste from their site http://www.meydenbauer.com/about/fact_sheet.html check this please!):

In the summer of 1850, Northwest settler Colonel Isaac N. Ebey (1819-1857) explored "Lake Geneva" (or Lake Washington as it is now known) and paddled in view of the hillsides of future Medina. Throughout the early 1850s, other Puget Sound settlers using the great inland body of water for fishing, hunting and picnics.

Several years later, German-born William Meydenbauer (1832-1906)-owner of Seattle's famous Eureka Bakery-filed a claim on the bay next to Medina at the foot of old Bellevue. Meydenbauer Center was named for this early Bellevue settler-and today, Meydenbauer Bay is the principal water portal to Bellevue.
