I'm also in Bellevue and we cut the cord a little over a year ago. I started with a Mohu Leaf Ultimate available from NFM if you want to get it locally. It worked pretty well, though where we are we have a lot of trees and I got some interference on Channel 6.1.
This fall, I stuck a Winegard MS-2002 on my roof. The issues with 6.1 went away, and we now get better PBS coverage, including a lot more Iowa stations.
I have the Mohu on our TV in the basement and it works pretty well down there. We don't watch it as much as the TV upstairs, but I'm happy with the basement performance. I have the antenna pinned to a wall, not in a window, and it's still working well.

Umm.. a paperclip? Maybe a coat hanger :) You're signals are blazing. I'd say just about any omni-directional low-gain antenna would work for you.
Something like this if you have space for a pole mount.
probably doesn't even have to be that expensive though like this
i have an antenna that is very similar to that one .. i paid under $30 for it and it was the first antenna I got because I just wanted to see if I could get any signal .. I am 50+ miles out I also have signals from 3+ directions... that antenna does work but its almost 100% amp with a tiny dipole.. if you could harvest the amp off that thing and put it on another antenna you would do much better but you really cant
In your case you have 5 different markets / directions in just your top green signals which are the strongest....
Of those none are more than 30 miles away
Your VHF Stations are lower on your signal range .. they are either duplicates of better signals or nonnamed so not primary networks that I can see.. that does not mean one of them couldn't be like ASN sports network which you would really want.. or something else.. but .......
SO... I never recommend this but since you have at least 5 directions technically and you can probably get signal from all of those directions...
An Omni Directional Antenna will probably do best for you..
It looks like until your signal drops below 7db you have no conflicts so you should really try to get all the stations from every direction...
So the deal .. omni antennas generally suck.. but since you are so close it is worth a shot...
Winegard Makes one

Channel Master CM3000AR is another one
and then there are generics.
If you have an RV recreational vehicle place near you .. they often mount these on RVs for people to use when they park.. or even in route...
Most of these Omni Directional antennas have amplifiers in them
they often can pickup High VHF but like 7 is not really high VHF its a hard channel to get so don't think about it... just get the stations that are over REAL 13
Mount it as high as you can.. if you put it on a post outside then ground that thing with a grounding block or you risk frying your electronics and could actually cause a fire..
It will need to be above your roof line for reception from all directions...
So .. you're my first that I can justify an Omni .. It should be worth it and you should get quite a few stations...
if you have like 5 TVs in the house and they all hook to a main splitter . if signal is low .. then get a Distribution amp from Amazon.. get a 8port amp and it should increase the power just enough that any splitters or cable lengths are canceled out
Good Luck
Also you might consider a fiberglass or PVC Plumbing pipe for your mast instead of a steel one.. but its up to you.. ground your system

I'm using this antenna. Metrostar. It was a gift from my father in law, but it's worked really well because I have a pretty wide spread of channels similar to yours. I added a preamp to help get the signal across the house. My channels aren't quite as far away as yours, but given your terrain, it may work if placed high.
You might be able to get away with using this: http://www.amazon.com/Winegard-MS-2002-Antenna-without-Cable/dp/B001DFZ5HO
I have a friend in Gilberts that picks up Rockford and Chicago with that in his attic, you should have better results with it on the roof.
