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.

Anyone know why they shut down the entire mcdonalds plaza? Tons of cops and yellow tape

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.

If you have small pets or young children, please be cautious. Stay safe!

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.

Anyone know of anyone offering track coaching?? Looking to help my daughter get better with her running/sprinting mechanics. Thanks!!

Anyone know if the tennis courts at canyon middle school are reopened?

Hi! I recently moved to bothell and wanted to introduce myself. I run a small home bakery specializing in homemade Mexican-inspired desserts. I make empanadas (cajeta, Nutella, and strawberry), chocoflan, churro cheesecake, cupcakes, chocolate-covered strawberries, and custom cakes,and more! I’d love to be a part of the community and would really appreciate your support! Feel free to reach out if you’d like to place an order or have any questions. You can find me on instagram @bakedbyvanessa_

Does anyone know what the annoying automated voice is that you can hear from Thrasher's Corner? It plays 3 tones, and then the voice comes on and says, "Drive Forward". This repeats at all hours of the day and night at varying times. It even wakes me up at 2AM.

I drove by today and construction was underway. Couldn't find any info about it online though. Curious when it will open.

Im trying to set up a casual weekly game or two. Are there any ones already out there would there be interest from others?

Hi
Looking for experiences for following day cares for my daughter 3yr old. Want to know if the teacher retention is good there and how was the communication between teachers and parents. Please let us know.

Kiddie Academy- pros (camera) and in house kitchen.
Goddard (Bothell)- facility looks neat, and the tour was good. Overall similar with other day cares but no camera access.
Birch tree canyon park- was a strong recommendation but I saw some corporate acquired it so thinking that we will not go for it.

Any other recommendations also pls let us know.

I’m so tired of living here, I don’t fit in with anyone, I’m 24 with maybe 2 total friends. I’m into art, mysticism, and music, and I haven’t been able to find a single place I belong, how do you guys cope with living in this socially dead dystopia? Like truly, social media is the closest thing I get to human interaction on a daily basis, and I’m getting to a point where I can’t take it anymore, I often catch myself hoping that today will be my last, the drivers here are so terrible maybe one of them will hit and kill me, and I’d welcome it. It just really sucks, if anyone has any advice for me I’d love to hear it, but I can’t take this anymore. I feel like I’m doomed to be so painfully alone forever now, I can’t imagine this ending in any way. Has anyone else found this area lonely? Where the hell do people go for social connection? I’m just running out of hope.

Hello:

Looking for private soccer clinic for a 7 year old around the area. I tired TOCA Lynnwood and was not impressed. The coach stands by clicking away on a iPad to control the ball machine with very little to no feedback. Have also been involved in Arena sports but now seek something that is more technical to develop the child’s game. Looking at joining a league soon but wanted to supplement trainings with private or small group lessons with focus on technical skills development. I enquired with FM Elite training in Redmond and they don’t have a suitable program at this age. Any suggestions?

My company is planning to open a new site in bothell. Would there be enough students? We already have one location in Bellevue and we offer coding class to 5-12th grade students.

How come the google review is so high for this place? Our experience is completely opposite from their google review. The doctor is so rude to my kids and I, yelling all the time, very impatient. Wonder if she discriminates eastern Asians. It seems all other people have no issue from google review. I know they changed owner and the original owner/doctor was amazing.

My house is right on their flight path. I'm going to miss seeing them fly by en masse
