It’s an especially busy time at City Hall as we work to develop the 2017-2018 Budget. Just as you work to manage your own household budget, we, too, must live within our means.

Main Street Fire recovery update

A private contractor working for the building owner demolished the Bothell Mall last week, allowing the City to reopen 102nd Ave NE on Thursday, Sept. 8.

Safe Streets and Sidewalks levy

You talked, we listened. You told us that safety and mobility improvements should be a top priority. This nine-year measure on general election ballots in November will focus on safe routes to schools as well as street improvements which will improve access for emergency vehicles, increase clarity of lane markings, and improve pavement quality. Watch your mailbox for a detailed Voter Ballot Measure Fact Sheet, or see the website.
