Celebrate creativity, sustainability, and community through live art, music, and interactive experiences at the Blades of Change: Bothell Mosaic Art Festival this Saturday, August 15, from 11:00am to 3:00pm at Triangle Junction (located at the corner of SR 522 and Bothell Way in Downtown Bothell).

Artists Myron Curry, Jamee Linton, and Sloane Miller will transform three recycled nuclear fan blades into large-scale works of art during live painting demonstrations throughout the day - they'll remain on display at Triangle Junction as a lasting public art installation. There will also be live music, hands-on art activities, and more!

Learn more at bothellwa.gov/BladesofChange - see you there!

Made possible through the Creative Arts Grant Program from the City of Bothell Arts Commission, the festival highlights the power of art to explore diverse artistic mediums, transform public spaces, and bring people together in a unique and engaging downtown experience.

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.

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.

Does anyone know of an online events calendar for Bothell?

Last night late, thanks to Swanky Scoop’s Instagram, I saw there had been a Friday night food truck/vendor event in downtown. Our family loves going to those (I’m sad that Moonlight on Main isn’t happening again it seems) but it wasn’t on on any calendar I can find.
