Bothell, WA

Bothell is a city in the Seattle metropolitan area, located in both King and Snohomish counties. It sits along the North side of the Sammamish river, which connects Lake Sammamish from the East to Lake Washington in the West. Bothell used to be home to a group of Native Americans known as the Sammamish people. Today, it is a bustling up and coming city as younger generations increasingly populate the city to attend the prestigious University of Washington Bothell, which shares a campus with the equally popular Cascadia Community College. Main areas of population include North Creek community / industrial district which is home to the Seattle Times’ main facility and provides an abundance of shopping centers for local residents. Canyon Park also draws many as it holds plenty of commercial businesses and local restaurants. Bothell has recently grown to host a large number of businesses involved in the biotechnology industry, which has aided in the health of the economy. A census in 2000 cited 12,303 housing units, but with the recent growth of the economy, this number is likely to increase, making Bothell a great place to look for investment opportunities.
