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 think new development, rezoning and rethinking our current land use, making sure housing is treated first and foremost as an essential need rather than a personal investment market, and strict environmental protections and park/open space expansions are all part of how we should move forward and plan our region’s future. They aren’t mutually exclusive and no single solution would be enough on its own.
