Thank you for your support! 🙏🏻

Hi! I am posting in the hopes of making some local girl friends. Hoping to find other girls wishing for the same! I’m finding that I would really love a community.

A little about me… I’m in my 30s, engaged, I have two cats. My interests include crafts, reading, stained glass making, coffee, trying new restaurants, misc. adventures, etc. I am an introvert but come out of my shell a lot once I’ve warmed up to folks. 😊

I’d love a group that is up to going on walks, getting coffee, doing crafty wine nights, and more.

If there’s already a group for this or a Discord of sorts, I’d love to just join there and get involved so please let me know if something like that already exists for this area! Making friends as an adult is hard!

EDIT: I made a Discord server! This is my first time making one so hopefully it works! Let me know if you’d like the link and I can message it to you!

Hi everyone! I’m currently living in DT Redmond and looking for a larger space for my family of three. Has anyone lived at Eaves Rockmeadow Apartments/townhomes recently? I’d love to hear about your experience and whether you would recommend living there. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

A committee is recommending solutions to the Board today at 5pm. Does anyone know where I could find details about this presentation!

Anything else happening in Bothell this week that I missed?

As you keep warm this fall & winter, help prevent the spread of invasive insects:

• Buy your firewood locally
• Don't move firewood

Sticky notes are pinned over the photos, explaining the importance of buying firewood where you burn it; that invasive insects are destructive; and to not move firewood to help prevent the spread of invasive insects.

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?
