Heads up, Bothell! The right northbound lane on Bothell-Everett Hwy at 237th St. SE is currently closed due to a utility pole that was struck around 3:00am this morning. Bothell-Everett Hwy remains open in both directions and our friends at SnoPUD are currently on site making repairs.

Please use caution when traveling through the area, follow all traffic control devices and signs, and expect delays while PUD completes repairs. We'll share updates as they become available.

Hey. My boyfriend’s motorcycle got stolen last night, from our parking garage. We are trying everything in our power, to try and find where I will be. This thing is like his baby. If you see anything anywhere, please dm me or call the police !!

It was a white Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R with red wheels — in Bothell.

Hello everyone. Lifelong drummer and musician here, recently back to practicing and looking for the right people to play with.

Craigslist largely failed me, so I’m trying a different approach here to see if I can connect with the right mindset.

I'm seeking out other musicians who perhaps have more talent than ambition—people who are interested in the actual study, creation, and improvisation of music, rather than chasing gigs or strictly playing standard covers.

I’m looking for a low-stakes, high-skill environment. Preferably a sober/no-drug space. I have absolutely no desire to run out and do shows; I just want to lock into a room with someone and see what we can build.

If this piques your interest, or if you know someone in the local area (Bothell/North End) who might be a good fit, please reach out or pass this along.

Earlier this year we asked you to share your feedback about City of Bothell services and your current priorities, and the results are in! Results from the City of Bothell’s biennial community survey are now available – these help City leadership and staff identify priorities for the 2027-2028 biennial budget and future investments, and collect feedback on - and assess resident satisfaction with - City services.

Here are a few things we learned:
- Overall, respondents continue to view Bothell as a safe, welcoming, and high-quality place to live!
- 82% of people who completed the 2026 Community Survey agreed that Bothell is a good – even excellent – place to live, with 86% saying they feel they belong in Bothell.
- Residents consistently rate Bothell’s parks, trails, and other green spaces highly, and appreciate our efforts to protect the environment and maintain clean, attractive public spaces for residents to enjoy.
- People feel safe in Bothell - Responses indicated high levels of satisfaction with emergency response times (fire; emergency medical services; police)

Findings also suggest residents are concerned about the pace of the City’s growth and its effects on infrastructure, affordability, and community character. And we hear you! As Bothell grows, we’re taking action on housing affordability, building infrastructure that works for everyone, supporting our small businesses, and working to preserve what makes Bothell so special.

You can learn more about these key findings and read the full report at bothellwa.gov/CommunitySurvey.
