Bothell, once a quaint suburb nestled between King and Snohomish counties, has blossomed remarkably over the past decade. With a population surge of over 40%, this once rustic town is now a bustling urban hub, showcasing a transformative journey that's both inspiring and challenging.
Strolling down Bothell Way NE, the vibrancy is palpable. Families wander past charming pop-up shops offering holiday delights, nestled beside the construction of a massive new apartment complex. This growth spurt, as local vendors observe, has transformed Bothell from a small, familiar community into a lively cityscape.
Change, however, is not without its growing pains. Residents have voiced concerns over increased traffic and parking woes. Yet, the recent local election results echo a community largely in favor of Bothell's ongoing evolution into a dynamic urban center. Young, forward-thinking leaders like Carston Curd (30) and Amanda Dodd (36) now bring a fresh perspective to the City Council, embodying the city’s youthful vigor and progressive ideals.
The seeds of this transformation were sown in the late 2000s, with an ambitious downtown redevelopment plan. This vision materialized through strategic land dealings and meticulous planning, despite occasional hiccups and controversies, such as the Wayne Golf Course development saga under then-Mayor Joshua Freed.
Today's Bothell boasts over 1,300 new residential units in its heart, a rechanneled Highway 522 enhancing city access, and a blend of modern amenities like the McMenamins hotel and entertainment complex, adding a unique flair to the historic school campus.
The narrative of growth continues with upcoming housing projects promising to add hundreds of apartments to the downtown area. Bothell's transformation also extends to its educational landscape, with the University of Washington’s Bothell campus expanding its student housing.
Current Mayor Mason Thompson, alongside the City Council, envisions a well-balanced growth strategy. This vision includes spreading development beyond the downtown core while ensuring an inclusive and vibrant community hub. Embracing the state’s push for “middle housing,” Bothell is poised to offer diverse living options that cater to a broader demographic.
With a population now nearing 48,000, Bothell reflects a mosaic of cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds. While managing growth and maintaining livability remains a delicate balancing act, Bothell's journey represents a microcosm of the broader regional growth narrative, striving to harmonize its rich history with a dynamic and inclusive future.
Agnes Felicia2024-06-24Arclight did exterior painting on our house. Shawn did our initial appointment and he explained about how they would do the job and what makes them different than others. He is very detailed and humble that my husband was hooked and did not want to choose other company although there are other companies with lower bids, but you’ll get what you’ll pay for. Jean and his team did the actual work and they were courteous and always gave us update. They had to climb tall ladder because we have 3 stories house and they did couple patch on our doors and walls. Overall, we can recommend Arclight for your painting needs.Tana Ingersoll2024-06-13Arclight just completed a full exterior job on our home and we couldn't be happier with their service, the quality work and the value. The house looks like a brand new home!Mary King2024-06-07We were very pleased with the work and professionalism of the Arclight team. They were thorough, tidy, and not intrusive at all.Canice Poon2024-05-29Thanks Stanley and team! I have no idea what I’m doing with house maintenance so it was great to have you coming by after the paint dried and checked that everything looked up to your standards. I won’t forget your statement of “well that’s not going to sell” and making sure you had a chance to come back and fix the issues you saw. Of course getting it in the first visit is nice, but having a professional check things over makes me trust your team a lot. Highly recommended!Adam Lamb2024-05-22We had a really good experience with our client. He did a professional job on time and on budget.George Monica2024-05-21The guys who worked on my project were great!Anand Sankar Bhagavandas2024-05-19Excellent and professional service.Mark Pepitone2024-05-18We are really happy with the job Arclight did with the exterior paint on our house. We did schedule the job out for a year, which was really helpful. Throughout the job, they were very honest, had a good eye for detail, and were quick to touch up even after the job was completed. They also have a 5-year warranty on their work, which makes me feel really confident in their work.Dave (OV)2024-05-18Just got an exterior job done by Dan, Colby/Cody from the Arclight team. They were respectful, detail oriented and communicative throughout the several days work. Our neighbor was also impressed with their diligence and hard work and meticulous nature as they stripped the weather and wear from some of the wood exterior before coating and refreshing it for the next few years. They did work on our cedar fences to brighten things up from the dull gray wear over the last few years of winter rains. Clean up and walk-through was efficient and thorough, which they did to make sure we were fully satisfied with the work. Highly recommended and will seek them out again in the future for any interior or exterior painting needs.Kathleen Cissell2024-05-16I highly recommend Arclight Painting for your exterior home. They did a wonderful job of upgrading our paint job, including trim and 2 coats everywhere. Our house is two story on a hill, so they did a lot of ladder climbing. We are so grateful we did not need to climb ladders ourselves! They were always on time, kept us informed at all times of the schedule, did exceptional masking and preparation work, and were good to clean up afterwards. In other words, practically perfect! Thanks, Arclight painters!
