A Great Place to Live, Except . . . - 6/21/2020
We have lived in and near Bothell for 20 years. The schools here are great, and if you’re college educated, the job market is great, too. We moved to the Pacific Northwest from Aridzona 30+ years ago, and though it can be gloomy here, the summers and falls, clean air, abundance of things to do, scenary, arts, restaurants, flowers!, great water, the ocean, and fresh fruits and vegetables more than make up for it.
So why only 2 stars? This is a VERY liberal town and area. There simply is no diversity of thought. It’s oppressive. Everyone here thinks that you think exactly like they do, and there is open disdain for Christians, conservatives, and the Midwest. My wife takes our dog to the park every day, and usually gets hit with a barb like "those stupid conservatives". Even people in church will roll their eyes when speaking about people in the Midwest. We have learned to hold our tongues because we would have few friends if we didn’t.
Taxes here are also high,

Beautiful Place - 9/22/2017
I moved here 5 years ago to keep my career moving after a layoff in sunny Colorado, where I had lived for over 30 years. I was so afraid of the supposed gloominess that most people report. What I found was an amazingly beautiful place that I am thankful to be a part of. Yes, November through February is mostly cloudy and wet, but the trade-off is lush vegetation, gorgeous flowers, fresh air, and the Northwest climate...where it rarely gets much below 30 at night. The summers and fall are amazing. However, if what you want is lots of solar radiation...maybe another place would be more sutiable. Bothell is a clean, neat, attractive town with nice restaurants, plenty of jobs, and quick access to both ocean water and stunning mountains. It was a bit expensive I'll have to admit, but you don't have to live right in Bothell. There are outlying areas close by that are a bit more reasonable and still very nice. The taxes are high in comparison to the average, but not the worst by any

Quietude - 12/10/2010
This small town on the edge of the Seattle megaplex is a fairly quiet family oriented collection of bedroom neighborhoods. Life here is oriented around schools, churches and other organizations. Not really the place to walk around meeting people. However, it lies at the apex of an excellent road system and has many public transportation opportunities, allowing anyone with the need to do so go to where they

Bothell Washington - 12/3/2008
Nice, clean, friendly, low crime, easy access to Seattle, Everett and Eastside(Kirkland/Bellevue/Redmond). Great job opportunities with Boeing, Microsoft, telecoms, HP etc. Not seeing too much of the recession here except for recent layoffs at WaMu. Can't wait for more

Nice place bad weather - 9/12/2007
I have lived in Bothell for 5 years. The upside is that people here are very nice. You have access to Seattle, although if you have to commute it is not great, because it can run you 45-60 minutes. The economy is vibrant with a lot of jobs.
The downside is the weather of course. From July to October it is absolutely gorgeous. However, from November through February it is very gray and rainy. March - June is a mix between nice weather and

tough job market - 7/12/2006
Despite what the statistics may say, there are few full-time jobs for college graduates here. For example, when certified, qualified school teachers are cleaning houses for a dollar over minimum wage (no benefits, no health insurance) for two years, that's a problem economy. When certified, qualified computer programmers are doing in-store demos of everything from shampoo to pet food to crackers because those are the only jobs they can get, that's a problem
