Weigh in on project needs

The City is undertaking several separate processes related to funding and community input is important in all of these endeavors.

Through April 16, the City of Bothell wants to hear from you about how it should spend taxpayer dollars and other revenues on major infrastructure projects such as parks, buildings, open space, traffic improvements, sidewalks and utilities. Your participation is important as the City reaffirms the first five years and develops the final two years of the 2019-2025 Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) and Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Get more information about the various efforts underway and how you can get involved.

Public safety input needed

Population growth, social challenges and legal requirements are placing new demands on the City of Bothell’s public safety services and straining City resources. To protect Bothell’s high quality of life, safe schools and thriving businesses, the City is exploring a variety of options, including the possibility of a ballot measure.

Your voice matters! The City Council wants to hear community perspectives, concerns and ideas about public safety (e.g., police, fire, emergency medical services and municipal court). Please fill out the brief survey and let us know what you think.
