WELCOME TO BOTHELL

Bothell is one of the Seattle metro area’s most quietly thriving cities—located at the crossroads of King and Snohomish Counties. Once a sleepy logging town, it’s now a dynamic community that blends suburban peace with tech-driven momentum. With a revitalized downtown, top-rated schools, and proximity to green space and employers alike, Bothell is a place where people come to settle in and stay.

What to Expect

Suburban Ease with a Fresh Urban Core

Bothell offers the kind of lifestyle that’s hard to replicate—walkable neighborhoods, a strong sense of community, and just enough city flair to keep things interesting. Its downtown has undergone major redevelopment in the last decade, adding new restaurants, apartments, breweries, and public spaces while keeping its historic character.

You’ll find everything from family-run shops to high-end wine bars, coworking hubs, and weekly farmers markets. Tech and biotech companies—especially those in nearby Canyon Park—bring a steady stream of professionals to the area. And with easy access to I-405, commuting to Bellevue, Redmond, or Everett is simple.

The Lifestyle

Family-Friendly, Forward-Thinking, and Close to the Outdoors

Bothell is a favorite for families, young professionals, and those seeking a quieter pace without sacrificing convenience. Parks are abundant, with walking and biking trails like the Sammamish River Trail and Burke-Gilman Trail connecting residents to the region’s vast outdoors.

Brunch at Alexa’s Café is a local weekend staple, and happy hour at The Cottage or McMenamins Anderson School is where the neighborhood comes alive. Whether you’re sipping wine on a patio, walking the dog by the river, or heading to a kids’ soccer game, life in Bothell just feels balanced.

Unexpected Appeal

A Rich History That Still Shapes Its Future

The city celebrates its heritage with community events like the Bothell Block Party & BrewFest and the beloved Tree Lighting Festival in December. The University of Washington Bothell campus adds educational energy to the town, along with public lectures, arts, and cultural events.

The city’s preservation of history doesn’t stop it from embracing the future. Sustainable building, green infrastructure, and smart growth initiatives are key priorities as Bothell continues to expand intentionally and responsibly.
