Bothell, Washington is located in the northeast end of the
Seattle Metropolitan area north of Lake Washington. The Sammamish River runs through Bothell
on its way to Lake Washington. Bothell, WA is about
15 mi. from downtown Seattle. Interstate-405 cuts through the north and
west ends of Bothell.
A Little History
Originally
inhabited by the Simump Native American Tribe, Bothell was a heavily wooded
and swampy area. White settlers first came in the 1870’s. The steamboat
running on the Sammamish
River made a stop
here and a logging camp was also set up here. In 1884 the first merchants
opened businesses along with a church and school. The town was incorporated
in April 1909.
The Bothell Historical Museum
This
museum sits in a restored 1893 two-story house. The building was moved from
Main Street
to the Park
of Bothell Landing in
1978. Here it is surrounded by the first schoolhouse of Bothell, a bell tower,
the 1885 Beckstrom Log Cabin, a gazebo and arched wooden footbridge.

Where is Bothell?
Bothell is at the north end of Lake Washington in
northwestern King County. The
easiest was to find Bothell is to take Interstate-405 Exit 26. This exit delivers you to the
Bothell-Everett highway (WA-527 (State Route 527)). Head south on WA-527 from the exit and
you will find yourself in one of Bothell’s newest and fastest growing
shopping areas. Head south for 2.6
miles from I-405 Exit 26 and you will find Main Street. Turn left on Main Street and you will be
in Bothell’s historic downtown.
You can also take I-405 Exit 23 to WA-522 and head west
(WA-522 also goes east to Monroe) for 1.2 miles and you will find yourself
at the intersection of the Bothell-Everett Highway (WA-527), Main Street,
and WA-522 / Bothell Way. I guess
we’d call this intersection the heart of Bothell. If you turn right onto Main Street you will
be in the historic downtown area.
The Community of Kenmore is only about 2 miles west of
Bothell on Bothell Way.
