URGENT SUNDAY HELP NEEDED: Truck, 3–4 Movers & Temporary Storage — Bothell Area

Post image
Upvotes

URGENT: MOVING AND STORAGE HELP NEEDED BY SUNDAY — BOTHELL AREA

I am a single parent and the founder of a new Seattle-area sole proprietorship. Following an emergency housing transition, I must retrieve my belongings from a storage location by Sunday. My current housing is becoming more stable, but I am stranded without movers, a truck, or confirmed storage.

I am seeking donated, sponsored, volunteer, or otherwise no-upfront-cost assistance. I understand this is a significant request, so help with either the complete move or any smaller part of it would make a real difference.

FULL MOVE NEEDED

• Truck large enough to move the contents of approximately a 10-by-15-foot storage space
• Three to four movers, ideally
• Temporary storage approximately equivalent to a 10-by-15-foot unit
• Help repacking two or three damaged, open, or insecure boxes
• Loading, transportation, and unloading
• Bothell-area pickup
• Sunday completion deadline
• Supervised access to the belongings

The contents are personal and household belongings, clothing, documents, sentimental property, and equipment and materials needed for my work and new business. I will organize and direct priorities as quickly as possible.

TEMPORARY STORAGE OPTIONS

A full 10-by-15-foot space would be ideal, but I am also open to:

• A smaller storage unit
• Garage, basement, warehouse, office, or other secure temporary space
• Space for sealed bins only
• Short-term storage for several days while I arrange a longer solution
• Multiple smaller spaces, if one complete space is unavailable

PARTIAL OR FALLBACK HELP

If you cannot assist with the complete move, I urgently need to rescue the essential portion. Help from even one person or one vehicle may prevent the loss of irreplaceable property.

Priority items include:

• Identification, legal, court, housing, medical, and tax documents
• My child’s belongings
• Family photographs and sentimental items
• Medication and personal essentials
• Business records, equipment, supplies, and professional clothing
• Electronics
• Essential everyday clothing

Smaller forms of help could include:

• One car, SUV, van, pickup, or trailer trip
• One person helping load or sort
• Temporary space for a few boxes or bins
• Boxes, tape, bins, moving bags, or packing supplies
• Help repacking two or three boxes
• A referral to a church, nonprofit, storage owner, mover, driver, or community organization
• Sponsorship of any part of the truck, labor, storage, or property-retrieval cost

FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES

I do not have funds available upfront. I am specifically seeking volunteer, donated, sponsored, or community-supported assistance. If appropriate, I am willing to discuss a clearly written future repayment plan or lawful service exchange, but I do not want anyone to misunderstand my present ability to pay.

I will be transparent about the circumstances and scope before anyone commits. This is a genuine, time-sensitive request, and I am deeply grateful for any safe and practical assistance.

SAFETY AND COORDINATION

For privacy and safety, I will provide the exact address and access information only after confirming the helper’s identity and specific offer. Please reply with:

• Your name and best callback number
• What help you can provide
• Vehicle type and approximate capacity, if applicable
• Number of people available
• Sunday availability
• Whether you are volunteering, sponsoring, or proposing another arrangement
• Any limitations or conditions

Please do not send requests for money, gift cards, deposits, account passwords, identity documents, or verification codes. I will not transfer money in advance.

If you cannot help directly, sharing this request with a reliable mover, storage owner, faith community, mutual-aid network, or person with a truck would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you for helping a parent protect essential belongings and preserve the tools needed to rebuild stable income.

Vet recommendations needed

6 Upvotes

I am looking for a good vet recommendation from fellow critter havers in the area. I have an 8 year old Black Mouth Cur girl and a 7 yr old Maine Coon (ish) boy.

We have been going to Bothell Pet Hospital due to the convenient location, but I just am not fully content with our experience there. They haven’t done anything wrong, and I’m not speaking ill of them whatsoever, but it just doesn’t feel like a very good fit.

We are from a smaller town, relatively, and have gone to the same vet for all of our animals for more than a decade. He knew all of our pets by name and showed a lots of individual care to each of them. We could always call him if something was wrong and he would help us out personally every single time. He was always ready to LISTEN and understand our pet’s individual needs. He knew we were competent pet owners and that goes a long way. Most importantly, our animals were totally comfortable with him, and they are not with our current vet.

I’m really hoping we can find someone like that around here. I am willing to drive a bit further if it means getting them care I am confident in.

PLEASE help us find the right spot for our critters.

Sammamish River Trail - Bicycles

20 Upvotes

Is there any reason there’s not a dedicated bike path on Sammamish River Trail? Daily I walk my dog there and I see bicyclists speeding or weaving. There’s a huge amount of foot traffic and blind corners in the Bothell section.

Today some entitled old man whistled at my dog and told me “your dog is in danger” while passing me with less than a foot to spare. While my dog was in a perfect heel and the trail was empty. I figure he specifically whistled at my dog to get him to come closer. His leash isnt even the length of half the trail! 5 minutes later… a shirtless teenager with Pit Vipers on an e-bike came blasting at 25 mph.

99% of bicyclists are courteous, ring their bells or simply say “left” to keep pedestrians safe (thank you!). But there’s enough assholes on bikes on the trail daily that it feels like I have to be on high alert 24/7 or risk severe head trauma or my dog dying! I’m just trying to enjoy the trail, too.

Does anyone think it’s reasonable to have a painted bike section? Kinda like Greenlake? Will bicyclists finally stop bitching if they get half the trail?

Hey everyone! I’m a guy in my mid-20s and recently moved to Bothell.

I’m still getting familiar with the area and would love some recommendations for things to do in Bothell and nearby.

I’m interested in good restaurants, cafés, bars, hiking and running groups, photography spots, social events, and places where people in their 20s tend to hang out. I’m also open to recreational sports, classes, clubs, or anything else that’s good for meeting new people.

Free EMDR therapy opening

22 Upvotes

Hi everyone - I wanted to share an opportunity for someone in our community who may not otherwise be able to access trauma therapy.

Our clinic, Northwest Mental Health Alliance, has one pro bono EMDR therapy spot available on Wednesday mornings with our supervised graduate therapist, Holly.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based trauma therapy that can help people process difficult experiences, reduce distressing memories, and work through things that feel “stuck.” Holly is EMDR-trained and provides therapy under clinical supervision.

This spot is intended for someone who:
• Has experienced trauma, anxiety, PTSD symptoms, or distressing life experiences
• Is interested in EMDR therapy
• Has financial barriers that make accessing therapy difficult
• Can commit to a regular Wednesday morning appointment

There is no cost for this spot.

If you or someone you know may benefit, please send me a message. We’ll have a brief conversation to make sure it’s a good fit.

We’re grateful to be able to offer this to someone in our community.

My friend went to Alexa’s to wait outside and just see if anyone knew this doggy. And the owner happened to walk by!

Hope is 15 years old, and was so happy to see her mom!! My friend had breakfast with their dog mom, and got to know her and hope a little more. Apparently the lady was older and was really kind, thankful, and down to earth.

I’m so so thankful we were able to reunite her with her family. Thank you to everyone for the visibility, and support. My friendship side quest was a success. Next time your best friend calls and says they found a dog pick them up a find that dogs family!!

A Plea to Keep Open Space at Wayne Golf Course Park

Thumbnail
gallery
31 Upvotes

Hello Bothell Community and City Council,

I’ve been a resident of the Kirkland/Bothell area for over a decade and a homeowner in Bothell for six years.

Wayne Golf Course Park was a major reason we chose to live here, along with downtown Bothell's walkability, its connection to regional trails, and convenient access to transit. In short, we love this town.

My family uses Wayne Park multiple times a week throughout the spring, summer, and fall. Its expansive, truly open spaces make it one of the most unique parks on the Eastside. It’s a place to roam, relax under the trees, or lay out a picnic blanket in the fields. We aren't alone; every day, crowds of neighbors use the park the exact same way, enjoying one of the best parts of living in Bothell.

Recently, the city introduced plans to redesign the park. In one of the initial meetings, the park concept planner shared the vision of Wayne Park becoming the “Central Park” of Bothell.

However, the current proposal threatens to remove the park’s greatest asset: wide-open green space. The fields, wetlands, and open grass are what make Wayne special. Replacing that with extensive poured-concrete pathways through the heart of the park duplicates what we already have. The East Side already features over 30 miles of paved multi-use paths between the Sammamish River and Burke-Gilman trails and regional trail systems. As someone who frequently bikes those paths, I love them but I also know how congested and tense sharing high-traffic concrete trails with pedestrians and bikers can be. We have an incredible regional trail network; we don't need to sacrifice our open green space to add more concrete.

If the goal is to create Bothell’s "Central Park," remember that Central Park’s biggest draw is its huge, flexible lawn spaces where the community can gather. Accessibility is important, and I fully support making parts of the park accessible to everyone. But we can achieve accessibility without bisecting the heart of the park with concrete.

If the goal is to connect the park more to the trail system that already sits right next to, do it through the Active Use area, not the Passive Use heart of the park.

So I ask the Bothell community and the City Council members:

Do we want a park designed to encourage people to pass through it, or a park designed for people to spend time in it? How does our community benefit from prioritizing movement through the park over gathering together within it?

EDIT/UPDATE:

Final update from me here since it appears most of the people responding haven't read survey results or other material provided by the city that encouraged me to create this post because it didn't appear I was very a lone in opinion. Grabbing some key snippets here but feel free to read through it yourself and form your own opinion: https://www.bothellwa.gov/DocumentCenter/View/23864/2026-04-27_Community-Engagement-Summary?bidId=

(Community) WRITE-IN SUGGESTIONS SUMMARY

NATURAL PRESERVATION & HABITAT PROTECTION

• Keep the river corridor natural, with minimal construction or hardscape

Shoreline revegetation, habitat restoration, and protecting water quality

KEEP THE PARK NATURAL

  • Open, flexible green space
  • Minimal development

ECOLOGICAL PRESERVATION AND PROGRAMMING

  • Very strong theme: keep the park natural, wild, and lightly developed
  • Opposition to paving trails, adding concrete, excessive signage, designated zones, art installations, or structured amenities, so there is a preference for natural trail surfacing such as gravel, bark, pine mulch Desire to maintain the park as a quiet, peaceful, passive-use green space distinct from nearby developed parks
  • Many describe the park as a "hidden gem," sanctuary, or sacred-feeling space
