eNews: Police Academy, Summer Concerts, City Hall Reopening, & more!

New Bothell Police Community Academy

Ever wonder what happens each day in the Bothell Police department? What do our detectives do? How exactly do Radar Navigators work with patrol officers? Community Academy is your opportunity to learn more. Participants will meet one night each week, between September 30 and November 18. Space is limited, apply now!

Slurry Seal Starts Soon

Slurry seal is a method of pavement preservation to extend the lifespan of heavily traveled local roads. Work is expected to begin on NE 188th St., in the NE corner of Bothell, and in central Bothell along the county line on August 11th, depending on weather. Residents on affected roads can expect to see mailers, door hangers, and on-street signage indicating which day their street will be worked on.

Sustainamania

Join us for a week-long virtual scavenger hunt to learn about all things sustainable! Complete sustainability missions from August 8 - 14 right from your home, backyard, neighborhood, or local park. Answer trivia questions, take photos and videos, and find locations around Bothell to win sustainability prize packages!

Summer Concerts Return

Join us as we celebrate the return of summer music with pop-up performances at two new venues! See performances from Heart by Heart at Bothell City Hall Plaza on Aug. 13 and Harmonious Funk at Park at Bothell Landing Amphitheater on Aug. 27.

Know the Air Quality in Our Area

With wildfires ravaging Eastern Washington and neighboring states, we could be facing another smokey summer. Stay informed on the air quality in our area by regularly checking Puget Sound Clean Air’s website. Wildfire smoke can be especially harmful to pregnant women, children, older adults and people with underlying health conditions.

Hybrid Meetings and In-Person Service

Over the last 18 months, we learned that our community prefers both convenient online and in-person service options - so we are transitioning to reimagined services! We’re offering some in-person appointments now and plan to reopen on Sept 7th, barring any State or County condition changes. City Council and some other meetings will be hybrid, meaning you can attend in-person or virtually if that is better for you. So whether you are a “zoomie” or a “roomie”, we look forward seeing you in a City meeting or appointment soon!
