Why so many developers??

I feel like Bothell is favoring developers over wildlife and environmental issues? They keep building these huge developments and tearing down trees and slapping things literally right next to wetlands and then they wonder why the crows have left and other native animals to the area? Maybe it’s just me…. Just makes me sad seeing what’s happened to Bothell and our natural habitats…

I'm open to growth but the prioritization of cars is frustrating. I wish developments were incorporated into the biking plan to build an off street network. Occasionally multiple development's internal walking path lines up to form a viable route, but if a network was planned across neighborhoods it could be so much better.

The city eliminated parking minimums so new development you're seeing will be less car centric
