North Creek has nature scenery and newer homes in Snohomish County

Tucked between Interstate 405 and the Woodinville-Snohomish Road, the vast expanse of Metro Seattle exurbia that is Bothell’s North Creek community brings out the abundant natural beauty of Snohomish County. From a booming housing market to the quiet joys of natural recreation, North Creek offers homebuyers a tree-secluded haven 25 miles north of Seattle. While keeping up the pace of nationwide suburbanization, North Creek has managed to retain much of the nature that makes Snohomish County incredibly desirable. Within this “H”-shaped community, the eastern half remains thickly forested, while the western part of North Creek is now home to hundreds of houses serving Seattle’s vibrant housing market.

Bothell came first and North Creek was part of the area's growth

North Creek is located within the large city of Bothell, which was founded on the banks of the Sammamish River during the 1870s. Like the urban center of Bothell, North Creek owes its origins as a residential community to the post-World War II suburban boom, during which time the growth of the interstate highway system brought with it the rapid expansion of Seattle’s suburbs into previously quiet, forested areas.

Colonials, Craftsmans, cottages and condos are among the home options

North Creek’s housing stock is as diverse as its topography. Residents may live in sizeable colonials and condos, in homey cottages, in artsy Craftsman homes, and a number of other home styles, all of which tend to skew towards the upper end of the Metro Seattle housing market. Realtor Lori Dunham of The Preview Group says, “Designer colors blend with the forest views. Deciduous trees offer the best of both worlds – shade in the summer and sunlight in the winter.” Homes in North Creek tend to sell for between $400,000 and $2.5 million, reflecting the variety of lifestyles that North Creek offers to its residents.

Retail centers along the Bothell Everett Highway offer variety

This vast neighborhood has direct access to the retail corridor along the Bothell Everett Highway, where everything from shopping centers to restaurants can be found. At the Canyon Park shopping center, shop for groceries at the PCC Community Markets supermarket. Just up the road, visit Lombardi’s for a delightful Italian dining experience. This popular restaurant serves Italian classics from spaghetti and gnocchi to pizza within a relaxed environment complete with a wine bar.

North Creek has large parks, walking trails and wetlands

North Creek makes maximal use of its wealth of nature with its parks; Dunham says that residents can “enjoy a neighborhood park just around the corner or take a stroll at the 40-acre Tambark Creek Park.” Within North Creek, itself, check out the forested walking trails and playground at Mays Pond or hike the wetland boardwalks of North Creek Park, where a fur-trapping farmstead has since been transformed into a nature preserve. Beavers, finches, deer, frogs, and even bald eagles have made this park their home, and, for just a moment, you can immerse yourself in the peace of this unique environment.
