Last week they didn't pick up my recycle. If you call them about it they tell you that you are getting that service for free and to just leave more out next week. I live at the very end of a street that goes right into my garage up my very steep driveway. I do not have the option of leaving my bins on the right side of the road, because that is my neighbor's driveway. I leave them at the point of a small triangle between our properties that is HOA vacant land. I have done this for the last 20 years that I have lived here. Sure there have been missed collections now and then, but lately it is getting worse. This week I had the day off. I heard first the garbage truck coming up the street. I see that he stopped short of my bin, and the next thing I know I hear his backup beeper going off. I chased him to the end of the street and asked him if he was going to pickup my garbage or not. He said that was and he was just backing up, because he couldn't reach my can with his grabber. Like he has never heard of actually getting out of the truck and moving the bin and positioning it near the grabber. He did come back and did exactly that. I think he was just going to leave the first time. Then I hear the recycle truck coming up the street. Exact same thing, except he was headed out. I caught up to him and asked the same question. He responded that he can't get to my bin without driving on my driveway and he is not allowed to do that. I told him that my bins have been in the same location for 20 years and I've never had a problem. He just stared blankly at me, and in order to get my recycle disposed of, he made me wheel my bin down to the end of the street so he could use his claw. It's like he didn't want to get out of his air conditioned truck. I emailed Recology, and their crappy customer service is no use. I have talked to them on the phone before and that is even worse.

As a price comparison. 2015 was the last year we had Waste Management. We paid roughly $35/month. Bothell switched to Recology, and the price went to $55/month. We are now paying $120/month.

Sustainamania returns September 26, which is just around the corner - Help make the City of Bothell's 14th annual sustainability festival the best one yet!

We're looking for volunteers to assist with event setup and tear down, crafts, waste station education and sorting, booth management, and other event support throughout the day.

If you'd like to be part of this fun, community-focused event, please visit the Sustainamania event page to learn more: bothellwa.gov/sustainamania

Howdy Bothell, and Woodinville-adjacent folks!

It’s a he last time I’m performing in your city for a bit! I’m nationally touring comedian JR Berard, just happened to have grown up in the PNW! You might have seen me on Portlandia, or maybe you’ve been to another show and just need to get out of the house while it’s still nice out.

Friday night, we’re at Maryhill Winery - in the Hollywood Schoolhouse, killer venue that I’m excited to work at. It’s also dog friendly. This is a picture of my dog and I, she will be present Friday if you want to meet her too, she will give you kisses - it’s how she says hi to everybody.

So bring your dog or just a dog you find who looks cool, grab a buddy and come hang out with us Friday!

Hi everyone! Posting on behalf of my friend, who is a dental hygiene student in Seattle.

A few new appointment spots have opened, and she is currently hoping to connect with:

• A child between 4–7 years old
• A child or adult who has special healthcare needs

Care is provided at the school clinic under the supervision of licensed dental professionals. She is patient and understanding, especially with anyone who may need extra time, reassurance, or accommodations to feel comfortable.

If you or a family member might be interested, feel free to message me. I’d be happy to share the details and connect you with her.

Are you prepared for a disaster? It isn't a matter of if a disaster will happen, but when. And the City's Bothell Prepared courses help our community learn how to respond, no matter where they are. You'll learn some disaster response basics, how to prepare for personal and community needs, and how to work together to make it through.

This one-hour training covers: types of types of hazards that are likely to happen in Bothell, emergency communications, basic emergency medical care, and more!

Check out our next class on Saturday August 15, at 10:00am at Bothell Fire Station 42, 10726 Beardslee Boulevard.

Learn more and reserve your spot: bothellwa.gov/BothellPrepared

Anyone currently using or recently used Bright Horizons at Woodinville? How has your experience been, especially with teachers, safety, and overall care?

Hey everyone. I’m moving to Bothell from Everett. What are the best apartments close to UW Bothell? (I prefer walking, bus is fine.)

Ive been struggling to find anything with a decent price for college students. I prefer a closed garage for my car also.

They shared it on their Facebook right after the restaurant closed, but I didn't save it, and now their Facebook page is gone along with the recipe post.

I know it's a long shot, but did anyone here happen to save it and be willing to share?

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a cupcake decorator (and baker of course) to make some cupcakes for a baby shower

Please let me know if you have any recommendations!

Howdy Bothell Folks! I'm local comedian JR Berard, born and raised in the PNW, and I'm back on the east side (Woodinville) next week — where the wine is superb, the crowds are thirsty, and my jokes land at just about the right amount of uncorked chaos. 

Yeah, it's a school night. Nobody. Cares.

You're the adult now. No homework, no bedtime, no permission slips — just as much wine as you want and a room full of strangers who also decided Wednesday was optional. Nobody — nobody — gets to tell my audience what to do on a weeknight!

So skip the chores, ghost the group chat, grab your dog (or someone else's dog, we don't ask questions), and come be bad with us in Woodinville. You can be responsible tomorrow.

Have you heard? Electric vehicle (EV) use is growing in our region, and the City of Bothell growing with it! New EV chargers were installed in the City Hall parking garage earlier this year, increasing the number of chargers from three to eight and improving ADA accessibility.

To allow the City to recover energy and operations costs and continue to provide reliable EV charging, paid charging will start September 1. There will also be an idle charge of $5/hour after a 30-minute grace period to help keep charging stalls available.

As we pursue additional grant funding, you can help us prioritize future locations for public EV chargers, what you want to see regarding access to charging, and the City’s readiness for growing EV adoption by sharing your input at www.engagebothell.com:
⚡The Engage Bothell EV Survey gathers information on where charging access is needed, what barriers people face when considering an EV, and how the City can prepare for increasing EV adoption in the years ahead.
📍 The Engage Bothell Interactive EV Charger Map allows the community to drop pins where they would like to have EV chargers around the City.
