The beautiful City of Bothell is approximately 12 miles northeast of Seattle, also known as the Eastside because it is on the east side of Lake Washington. The great thing about Bothell is it is centrally located with a 20 minute drive to Bellevue, Redmond, or Lynnwood and 20-30 minutes to downtown Seattle or Everett for great shopping, restaurants and entertainment including cultural enrichment, The Mariners, The Seahawks, Seattle Center and the EMP to name a few. Just under two hours you are in the mountains for skiing and about an hour puts you on some great fishing rivers.
The city of Bothell is a great family community with summer events like Music in the Park and Movie in the Park. These events are held at a a wonderful park, Bothell Landing, where kids can play on the climber, feed the ducks, and there is a huge grassy area for having a picnic or just lying in the sun reflecting on the day or taking a nap. The amphitheatre is where they hold the music/movie events. The Burke-Gilman Trail runs along the park which can be taken into Redmond or the other way into the Seattle UW area. This bike trail runs along the Sammamish River Slough where you can see ducks, geese, Heron and an occasional beaver swimming along. There are the resident hens, roosters and bunnies to see as you stroll along as well. My son has even caught a fish or two from the slough! They also put in a Skate Park for the kids to keep them safe! Also on the agenda should be the annual 4th of July Parade complete with the SeaFair Pirates and all the usual parade floats and marching bands and hot rods!

While cruising down Main Street you won't find any fast food restaurants, just family owned small eateries where you get a good home cooked meal. There are a couple banks and churches close to Main Street as well as a pet store and some specialty shops.

The school district that serves Bothell is the Northshore School District which ranks as one of the highest in the state! I attened two of the schools my boys will attend and am excited that programs such as Camp Casey are still in place and my boys will get to experience it as I did in 5th grade. Goin on a snipe hunt.......
For college courses you can stay right here in Bothell and attend either Cascadia Community College or the UW Bothell Campus.

Bothell is a wonderful city to call home. The people who live here are great, family values are high and parental involvement at the schools is strongly encouraged. I have lived here for a good part of the past 30 years, wandering off but always returning because it's a great place to call home. My dad even retired from the City of Bothell after 12 years of service! For more information on the beautiful City of Bothell, click on this link
