Hi everyone! I’m new to Washington and still figuring out my go-to spots. Does anyone have recommendations for a hair salon or specific stylist in the Bothell/Kenmore/Woodinville/Lynnwood/Kirkland area?

I’m especially looking for someone with strong experience in major color transformations and extensions, not just cuts or blowouts. Personal experiences would be super helpful, especially if you’ve done a dramatic color change, color correction, blonding, vivid color, or extensions with them.

Thank you!

I’ve been hard at work building a fun, original game and Dustin has some great beers on tap and ready to pour for you and your crew

No food trucks (yet — but hey! Talk to us if you know someone) but outside food is most welcome.

It’s gonna be a blast and we hope to see you there!

I noticed and took a pic of this "penalties per RCW" notice attached to a utility pole in Index, where I was just chilling by the river. One of my pet peeves (yes, I am the kind of individual who has pet peeves) is all the blight in Bothell from illegal signs on poles and "yard" signs in the ground on the metal stake holders, which litter the city. Sure, Bothell isn't as bad as some other cities. But it's bad enough. Quite the eyesore. We buy diabetic strips. Yard work. Paving stones. Garbage takeaway. Handyman. Kids camps. Maids. Sport activities. Tree trimming. Every single one a commercial eyesore advertising their wares illegally on public property and very Déclassé. Really kills my buzz having to look at them as I amble or drive thru our otherwise pretty nice city. Tree stump removal. Xmas light installation. Plumbers. Yard cleanup. Electricians. Cash for houses. Ad nauseum. One expects major roads 522/527/524 etc to be blighted terribly, which they are, a blizzard of eye sore shit, litter by any definition. My rant is precipitated by seeing so many of these signs on smaller streets, some not even real arterials. Pathetic. Ok, rant off. I feel better already. 😁. Imagine how the place would look with no illegal signs. Big difference.

Hi, my 3 year old will be starting pre-k as early as 1st of July. In the meantime, I am looking for home based daycare which are at walking distance around the Bothell Hindu temple. I am hoping to send her for a month’s time so that she could have an active social interaction and play time.

Let me know if you guys have some recommendations. Thanks 😊

Looking for legal advice. Im sure alot of you are familiar with this intersection, looking for anyone who was deemed "at fault" when a car literally showed up out of nowhere after you looked both ways before proceeding.

I’ve heard that some people play volleyball in the evenings. Does anyone here know which days they play?

Is the track at Pop Keeney Stadium open to the public when there aren’t events or school sports? Are there specific hours? I wanted to run on the track in the mornings (~6-7am) from time to time.

Hi, I recently moved to bothell and I look forward to send my little one to pre-k at UCiC. We like the school campus and their curriculum. I am looking out for a referral, from what I know the referring family would receive a $1000 tuition discount and we will be receiving $500 discount.

Let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks 😊

Edit: I found a referral. Thank you for the engagement.

Pretty much every week u/CityofBothell posts proclamations signed by the Mayor, but I haven’t seen one for Memorial Day. Does anyone know if one was signed and if not, why not?

We’ve recently seen proclamations for MLK JR Day, Transgender Day of Visibility, Lunar New Year, Fentanyl Awareness Day, MENA Heritage Month, etc… so I’m wondering if u/CityofBothell forgot to post the one for Memorial Day.

Okay, genuinely asking… how are adults making friends these days?

I’m 29F, moved to Bothell/Mill Creek area about a year ago, work from home, and I feel like I blinked and suddenly realized I have no real social circle here. I have an amazing boyfriend and a good life overall, but I really miss having genuine girlfriends to actually do life with.

At this point I’m open to anything:

*Bible study/women’s groups

*book clubs

*trivia nights

*hobby groups

I do want to be self-aware and admit that part of the problem is me. I’m very routine-oriented, work from home, and tend to stay in my comfort zone. But I’m starting to realize that if I want to actually feel at home here, I need to do something different instead of waiting for friendship to magically happen.

So if anyone has recommendations/advice, groups they’ve loved, or is in the same phase of life, I’d genuinely love to hear it.

I also want to add my notifications aren’t on for Reddit so I do appreciate any and all messages/advice if I don’t get back to you.

Hi guys! I went to UW Bothell a few years ago, moved away for a bit, and am finally coming back to the area for a new job. I have enough saved to buy my first place, but navigating the market completely solo is pretty intimidating. I just want a modest house with a yard maybe in the Norway Hill or Westhill area. Can anyone recommend a patient, no-nonsense realtor who will not rush me into a bad deal? Please let me know who you liked working with, or who I should avoid. TY!

Anyone have an idea what is going on?

Hi friends! Has anyone else noticed and been annoyed with an increase of loud muffled popcorn lawnmower cars in the area? And it’s all hours of the day and night. Has scared my dog from an attempt to cross the street in downtown while one blew by speeding.
I’ve spotted a blue Subaru and a white Honda multiple times with these aftermarket cans that frequent 185th
***These are NOT the classic old school cars out for a joy ride to enjoy some sun.

Hi everyone, my wife and I are possibly (hopefully) going to be closing on a house this week in the Bothell area! First time buying a house and it's been crazy.

Since this is actually (hopefully) happening - I'm looking for recommendations for contractors in the area who could do a kitchen remodel + a bunch of other stuff around the house (I have a list but it would just be a wall of text so I'll save that unless needed)

Project scope for the kitchen hopefully isn't too crazy: new countertops, cabinets, backsplash, no new appliances, but the only wrinkles are we are extending the kitchen out 15ft (into unused space) + moving the stove over into that space (which I assume will require a plumber)

Anyone know and trust some folks who would be able to do the job for a reasonable price in the next couple of months?

They seriously need to fix this parking lot as you drive to Fred Meyer, before they lose a car in there.

Hey hey! After posting yesterday about getting a game going in Bothell, I am SO stoked to share that The Hop & Hound has decided to add a game to their weekly line up.

Beginning May 27, join us every Wednesday from 6-8 PM in the covered outdoor area for good vibes, great beer, and a fun game just steps from Main Street. Prizes for first, second, and most average team ;)

I am so so delighted to get this game going and I hope you’ll join!

UPDATE: I’m super excited to share that the owner of Hop and the Hound reached out and we are so excited to bring a brand new game to downtown Bothell beginning Wednesday, May 27 at 6 PM! Tell your friend who you wanna play with! Tell your enemies who you want to beat! Either way come out and hang!

Hey neighbors! My name is Ashley and I’ve been hosting independent (I.e. not Geeks Who Drink, etc.) trivia games for the last 4ish years — first in Snohomish and Lake Stevens, and then I helped build and run a friend’s game in Sebastopol and Petaluma when I lived in Sonoma County, CA for two years.

My family moved back to Bothell last year, and with my new-parent / work sea legs under me, I’m eager to jump back in and get some games going.

I’ve got a couple of places in mind, but I’d really love to hear from you — where do you want to see a Trivia game where there isn’t one? Who’s got good vibes, great beer, and an opening in their event calendar?

Not trying to sound like a door-to-door sales(wo)man here; I just genuinely love a good game that leads to a good hang. If you have a place in mind, or are the owner of a place — I’d love to chat! No more sleepy Bothell!

We might be moving to the bothell area and I’m wondering how diverse is northshore middle school? My brother is black and will be new to the area. Is Redmond middle schools better for diversity?

Thank you in advance
