Our Draft Imagine Bothell Comprehensive Plan and Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) are ready, and we need your input! You're invited to stop by our events on May 2 or May 4 to provide feedback, have conversations with staff, make comments on the drafts, and help shape the future of Bothell.
Bothell’s 2024 Imagine Bothell Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update looks at all aspects of the City — like transportation, housing, parks, climate, our natural environment, and more — to set a course for our projected growth. Staff will be available on site to discuss the Comprehensive Plan, provide information, gather feedback, and answer your questions.
The City of Bothell also prepared an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to carefully evaluate potential effects of the actions being considered in the Comprehensive Plan update. The Draft EIS considers the potential impacts of three alternative growth strategies. Throughout the analysis, a particular focus was applied for opportunities to address equity and climate resilience.

Before you arrive:
The Draft Comprehensive Plan and Draft EIS are available on our website, EngageBothell.com, for you to read and explore at your convenience. The Comprehensive Plan is a large and detailed document that we have broken up into 15 Elements or topics for easier digestion.
Both of the events are essentially the same, so come to the one that is most convenient for you. We welcome you to share these events with your friends, family, neighbors, and other community members as well.
