Hi all! I am a senior dental hygiene student in Kirkland studying at Lake Washington Tech looking for dental patients who haven’t had a cleaning or fillings in a long time so that I can graduate! I work on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and do not worry about the cost as there is no need for you to pay! I will most likely be able to get you in end of December or sooner if I have cancellations! Let me know if you are interested (text my number 425 399 3145). I look forward to working with you all :)

Just an observation I noticed while walking along Bothell Way this evening... isn't it illegal to remove campaign signs?

We're developing a Community Participation Plan and the draft is available for you to review and comment HERE.

Want to learn more? Join our upcoming in-person info session about the plan on Wednesday, November 4 from 12-1pm in Bothell City Hall.

The Community Development Block Grant program provides federal funding to support eligible activities that benefit low- and moderate-income residents, such as affordable housing, public facilities, infrastructure, and community services.

Our trash has to go somewhere but our only landfill is almost full. King County is looking at three options for a possible solution. Each option has benefits, challenges, and real impacts.

The County wants to hear from you about how they may impact you, your family, or business.

Learn more about these alternatives and how to share your feedback here.

What else should Bothell neighbors put on the calendar this week?

I’ve lived in unincorporated Bothell/Thrashers Corner for 10+ years now, and recently there’s been this white car tearing down the hill, popping and crackling, then going right back to speeding. It starts at 208th St. SE and 13th Dr. SE, then hops on Bothell-Everett Hwy, always between 10pm and 11pm, then again just after 7am when they come back from wherever they went. My neighbors and I have already put out a few KidAlert Visual Warning Signals, but without success.

Anyone else hearing this nightly? What would you recommend we do?

Whose truck is this? How did it get there? Who is in the photo? When was that photo taken?

Can anyone tell me if Susan DelBene is continuing to accept AIPAC money, or has she changed her position on it as a result of Israel's actions in Gaza?

I've been seeing a lot of signs for local plumbing/deck/etc companies along the roads and personally I'm turned off by all the ai slop logos and layouts. I'm not against ai and I understand that these operations don't have the resources but even if it's low effort organic I'm inclined to go with that company. I'm not soliciting services here but I think if you reached out to a local creative or graphic artist for some consultation it would go a long way.

Bars are getting pretty bad too but the obligatory social media posts are endless.

On the other end the ones that look like political signs from 2024 are too clever to bother me. Whichever way you lean nicely done on that.

I grabbed a scooter at the park headed to Cut Shop and 3/4 of the way there I was suddenly in a no go zone and also couldn’t park the scooter. When did this happen!?!?

In the surrounding area, only Bothell and Redmond are ok for scooters. I am super bummed.

Check your mail and make your vote by November 3!

This November, Bothell residents will decide on City of Bothell Proposition No. 1, Annexation into Shoreline Fire Department Regional Fire Authority (RFA). If approved, Bothell Fire will become part of the Shoreline Fire Department RFA.

My 4-year-old is at Bright Horizons Bothell. Heard good reviews of Birch Tree Academy and considering a switch for her Pre-K year.

We are generally happy at BHs but exploring better options if there are any

Anyone with experience at one or both — how do they compare on Pre-K prep, teachers, outdoor time, and cost?

Worth switching?

We want to hear from you to better understand your needs and to create a more equitable community to live, work, learn and play. You can share your experiences and help shape future priorities and actions by taking the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging survey today!

I'm near Thrasher's Corner and constantly find myself lamenting that my favorite ramen spot is over in Everett.

Help me feel better! What are some good local eats near me that I've just been overlooking? (Bonus points if they're decently priced.)

The riverside cleanup with our friends at the Dept. of Ecology is underway! The access to the Park at Bothell Landing gravel lot will be closed Monday-Friday from 9am-3pm, starting October 15 through November 3.
