Comprehensive Plan Event: Planting Seeds for Bothell’s Future!

Bothell residents gathering indoors, looking at informational posters and talking to each other.

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. 

Join us on: 

May 2, 2024, from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. 

UW Bothell’s North Creek Events Center, 18225 Campus Way NE, Bothell, WA 98011 

or 

May 4, 2024, from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. 

Crystal Springs Elementary Gymnasium, 21615 9th Ave SE, Bothell, WA 98021 

What else can you expect at the events?  

  • Free edible cookie dough and ice cream treats from Sugar + Spoon – Thursday at UW Bothell 
  • Free sweet & savory baked goods from KDJ’s the Bakerie – Saturday at Crystal Springs 
  • Childcare is available on site at both events, provided by Imagine Children's Museum 
  • Activities for all ages

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. 

Can’t make it to the events? That’s okay!

The City is requesting comments from the community, agencies, tribes, and all interested parties on the Draft EIS from April 17, 2024, to May 17, 2024. Comments on the Draft EIS are due by 5 p.m. on May 17.  

Comments can be submitted at the events and through the following methods:  

Online: EngageBothell.com  

Email: EISImagineBothell@bothellwa.gov. Please use the subject line “Imagine Bothell Comprehensive Plan Update Draft EIS Comments”
