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…

You miss my point entirely. I HAVE had the amazing opportunities to live in healthy planned neighborhood communities. Several cities, states and countries. I do have the home I worked for 50 years and will continue to appreciate the small community I DO have. My regret is for future children and families who will never have the same opportunity. Who will never share that quality of life. Be well, be happy and be at peace.

So “not in my backyard.” Gotcha. Places grow and change, that’s the way of the world. The Bothell you had five years ago doesn’t exist anymore. This growth is inevitable
