What do you think about Canyon Park?

The City of Bothell wants your help to develop a new vision for the Canyon Park Regional Growth Center (RGC). The future growth of the Canyon Park area is critical to both the City of Bothell and the region as a whole. We need to hear from property owners, business owners, employees, residents and the general public to develop a new vision. In 2018, the City will develop Comprehensive Plan policies and implement regulations to achieve the identified vision. Share your thoughts about Canyon Park. 

Take the North Creek Forest survey 

Help shape the future of North Creek Forest, a 65-acre urban forest preserved as part of Bothell's park network, by taking a survey by Oct. 8 or attending a meeting about the forest on Oct. 9 from 6 – 8 p.m. at City Hall.

The master planning process for the forest is underway, identifying potential forest activities and determining how to open the forest up to the public while still protecting its valuable habitat.

Halloween Safety Tips

Halloween safety tips

Halloween is a fun and spooky time of year for kids. Make trick-or-treating safe with a few easy tips:

  • Provide children with flashlights to carry for lighting or glow sticks as part of their costume
  • Use battery operated candles or glow-sticks in jack-o-lanterns
  • Remember to keep exits clear of decorations to ensure nothing blocks escape routes
  • Make sure all smoke alarms in the home are working
  • Tell children to stay away from open flames and be sure they know how to stop, drop, and roll, if clothing catches on fire.

Every Second Counts: Plan Two Ways Out


October is Fire Prevention Month. It’s a great time to make sure you and your family are prepared.

  • Draw a map of your home with all members of your household, marking two exits from each room and a path to the outside from each exit.
  • Practice your home fire drill twice a year. Conduct one at night and one during the day with everyone in your home, and practice using different ways out.
  • Teach children how to escape on their own in case you can’t help them.
  • Make sure the number of your home is clearly marked and easy for the fire department to find.
  • Close doors behind you as you leave – this may slow the spread of smoke, heat, and fire.
  • Once you get outside, stay outside. Never go back inside a burning building.
