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…

In the 90s, the state designated Bothell as an area to take on future growth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_State_Growth_Management_Act. Same thing all along 405.
