Revitalize and growing city center
Now considered a highly walkable retail and shopping hub, the Downtown Bothell neighborhood attracts buyers for its accessibility and convenience. It’s a neighborhood that’s gone through a decade-long transformation from its suburban roots to an urban pedestrian-friendly city center. “Bothell is committed to affordable housing,” says DeNae McGee, Tourism/Arts Manager for the City of Bothell. “The downtown has turned into a dense space for mixed-use, where you have main-level floor shops and restaurants and five or six floors above that for apartment dwellings.” This change of scene has caused the neighborhood to experience a major growth of residents. “There are a lot more single and younger couples moving into mixed-use spaces,” McGee says. “That defines what we’re seeing in downtown. A mix of young couples and seniors.”
Wine and Dine on Main Street and Bothell Way
Downtown is climbing back to its pre-pandemic levels of foot traffic. “It’s taken a while for people to be able to get out more,” McGee says. “It’s nice to see it start to pick up and see people out again.” Often, this foot traffic goes to the neighborhood’s locally-owned restaurants and retail. Along Bothell Way, residents head to Amaro Bistro for a candlelit Italian dinner in a dining room reminiscent of a Tuscan tavern. Dessert lovers wait for the treats at T55 Patisserie. “People are literally standing outside waiting for the baked goods available. They specialize in French pastries with cakes and croissants. It’s so good,” McGee says. Off Main Street, The Cottage is a beloved spot for its customer service. Their Wine Wednesdays are a hit, combining main entrees with local wines. Hop and Hound is a popular after-work spot providing outdoor seating and an extensive beer selection. Weekly groceries can be bought at QFC.
Summertime Fun events
Summer Nights in Bothell draws locals to explore the town’s multiple cuisines or lay their towels and lawn chairs along the grounds for the sounds of local bands. Thousands come down for the annual Fourth of July Pancake Breakfast and Parade. “The parade is a popular event with locals. We close down streets, and people are setting up days in advance to see people that are coming down on Main Street,” McGee says. “I mean, we’re talking 5,000 to 7,000 people coming down.”
Modern homes throughout
While Downtown is primarily apartments, many single-family homes sit north of North 191st Street. Styles vary from 60s/70s style contemporary ramblers with under five bedrooms to traditional tri-levels or craftsman and contemporary new constructions. Ramblers can range from $600,000 to over $1.4 million. A four-bedroom tri-level may start around $825,000, while these newly constructed homes can peak at over $2 million. Towards the retail district are modern townhouses and apartments that start around $800,000. “A new development is set to be completed by the end of the year,” McGee says.
Most recreation at The Park at Bothell Landing
Downtown Bothell is home to various parks, but the most popular is the Park at Bothell Landing. “That’s the city’s signature because everyone goes there so often,” McGee says. “There are four historic buildings on the property, which makes a great opportunity to look at the city’s past.” Outside the historic building, kiddos enjoy their time in the play area while other residents rent paddleboards to ride on the Sammamish River. “It’s such a beautiful area to get on and head east to Lake Washington or head west, which takes you to Woodinville, where there are a lot of wineries.” Downtown residents can also access the starting point of the Sammamish River Park trail, which connects to the Burke-Gilman Trail. Both combine a total of 30 miles of trails.
A-rated education for students
Bothell students can attend the Northshore School District, starting at the A-rated Maywood Hills Elementary. Education continues at Canyon Park Junior High, earning an A rating from Niche. Diplomas are earned from Bothell High School, which earned an A-minus grade from Niche. Students wanting to stay local after grade school can enroll at Cascadia College or the University of Washington Bothell.
20 miles to Seattle
Employees needing to get to Seattle will need to use a car. State Route 522 connects to Interstate 405. From there, it’s a 20-mile drive, and often, the commute comes with traffic. Buses come around Bothell via the Community Transit, King County Metro and Sound Transit. For air travel, the SeaTac International Airport is 30 miles south, offering flights to over 120 international and domestic destinations.
