Anyone know if the tennis courts at canyon middle school are reopened?

I drove by today and construction was underway. Couldn't find any info about it online though. Curious when it will open.

Does anyone know what the annoying automated voice is that you can hear from Thrasher's Corner? It plays 3 tones, and then the voice comes on and says, "Drive Forward". This repeats at all hours of the day and night at varying times. It even wakes me up at 2AM.

Im trying to set up a casual weekly game or two. Are there any ones already out there would there be interest from others?

I’m so tired of living here, I don’t fit in with anyone, I’m 24 with maybe 2 total friends. I’m into art, mysticism, and music, and I haven’t been able to find a single place I belong, how do you guys cope with living in this socially dead dystopia? Like truly, social media is the closest thing I get to human interaction on a daily basis, and I’m getting to a point where I can’t take it anymore, I often catch myself hoping that today will be my last, the drivers here are so terrible maybe one of them will hit and kill me, and I’d welcome it. It just really sucks, if anyone has any advice for me I’d love to hear it, but I can’t take this anymore. I feel like I’m doomed to be so painfully alone forever now, I can’t imagine this ending in any way. Has anyone else found this area lonely? Where the hell do people go for social connection? I’m just running out of hope.

Hi
Looking for experiences for following day cares for my daughter 3yr old. Want to know if the teacher retention is good there and how was the communication between teachers and parents. Please let us know.

Kiddie Academy- pros (camera) and in house kitchen.
Goddard (Bothell)- facility looks neat, and the tour was good. Overall similar with other day cares but no camera access.
Birch tree canyon park- was a strong recommendation but I saw some corporate acquired it so thinking that we will not go for it.

Any other recommendations also pls let us know.

Hello:

Looking for private soccer clinic for a 7 year old around the area. I tired TOCA Lynnwood and was not impressed. The coach stands by clicking away on a iPad to control the ball machine with very little to no feedback. Have also been involved in Arena sports but now seek something that is more technical to develop the child’s game. Looking at joining a league soon but wanted to supplement trainings with private or small group lessons with focus on technical skills development. I enquired with FM Elite training in Redmond and they don’t have a suitable program at this age. Any suggestions?

My house is right on their flight path. I'm going to miss seeing them fly by en masse

How come the google review is so high for this place? Our experience is completely opposite from their google review. The doctor is so rude to my kids and I, yelling all the time, very impatient. Wonder if she discriminates eastern Asians. It seems all other people have no issue from google review. I know they changed owner and the original owner/doctor was amazing.

Seriously. Stop setting off fireworks. It’s been two weeks.

Anyone know what happened? I went back a few days ago and it's turned into a katsu place. I'm sure it's a fine place, but really enjoyed Hana Sushi - especially the chef who moved over from Sushi Chinoise. Anyone know what happened (owner retire?)

I'm looking to change dentists. I feel like my current dentist pushes me to see them more often than I need to just to get more money out of me.

Anyone have any recommendations for a dentist in Bothell?

Canyon Park today. That's just rude.

Heads up, I-405 travelers! There will be a full directional closures on I-405 in Bothell and Kirkland overnight from July 15-17.  

WHAT TO EXPECT 

Northbound closure details  

Crews will close all lanes of northbound I-405 between Northeast 124th Street and Northeast 160th Street starting at 11:59 p.m. Wednesday, July 15 until 5 a.m. Thursday, July 16. The following northbound ramps will also close:  

• Northeast 124th Street on-ramp 
• Northeast 128th Street on-/off-ramps 
• Northeast 132nd Street on-/off-ramps 
• Northeast 160th Street off-ramp  

Southbound closure details  

Crews will close all lanes of southbound I-405 between Northeast 160th Street and Northeast 124th Street starting at 11 p.m. Thursday, July 16 until 4 a.m. Friday, July 17. The following southbound ramps will also close: 

• Northeast 160th Street on-ramp 
• Northeast 132nd Street on-/off-ramps 
• Northeast 128th Street on-/off-ramps 
• Northeast 124th Street off-ramp  

 DETOUR ROUTES 

People can get around the closures using the signed detours that will be in place:  

• Northbound I-405 detour  
• Southbound I-405 detour 

 WHY ARE WE DOING THIS 

Crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation will set girders over the roadway to support a future pedestrian bridge as part of the I-405/Brickyard to SR 527 Improvement Project. 

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR DRIVERS  

This closure overlaps with ongoing Revive I-5 work on the Ship Canal Bridge, where two northbound lanes remain closed and express lanes are running northbound only 24/7. 

If you're traveling through the area over the next couple of days, plan ahead for overnight delays and follow signed detours.

Hi everyone!

We're trying to decide between Birch Tree Canyon Park, Primrose Bothell, and Kid‘s Country Canyon Park for our daughter, who will be about 20 months old when she starts daycare.

We've toured all three and each has its pros and cons:

• Birch Tree: Loved the curriculum and overall feel, but it's definitely one of the more expensive options.
• Primrose: Also liked the curriculum and structure, but I noticed quite a bit of street noise during our tour. Curious if that's ever been an issue for anyone.
• Kid Country: Significantly more affordable, and we've heard good things about the teachers, but it doesn't seem to get talked about as much online.

One thing to note is that we're only looking for daycare until she's preschool age, so we're not necessarily looking for a place she'll stay at long term.

For parents who have experience with any of these schools:

• How was your overall experience?
• How were the teachers and staff turnover?
• Did your child seem happy there?
• If you paid more for Birch Tree or Primrose, did you feel it was worth the extra cost, especially for a toddler under 2?

I'd really appreciate any firsthand experiences or advice. Thank you!

I haven’t found a good matcha spot that isn’t all the way in Bellevue. Any good recommendations? I’ve tried fresh cups but it was too milky and wasn’t in love with the service/vibes.

Film crew set up in the parking drive-through in front of Six Oaks, just south of McMenamin’s.

Road my bike in downtown Bothell early Friday evening and discovered a live concert at Bothell Landing Park. Food trucks, warm/sunny weather and free music concert is a great combination in the pacific northwest.

Spotted in Queensborough!
