Power Outage?

Anyone know if the North Creek Business Park has power? PSE shows one building without power. I'm trying to figure out if I need to go into the office since there's no power at home but no one, boss, manager, or coworkers are responding.

Christmas Lights?

Any good spots to walk around and see some Christmas lights? We went to the landing a couple nights ago and were underwhelmed. Our 2 year old liked running through the O in JOY so it was a success, but curious if there’s other spots?

Obnoxiously Loud Cars

Is there anything to do about them? I’m up near Canyon Park and it’s constant every night loud revving or flooring it down the road. Right now there’s a car just revving their car loud repeatedly.

Bothell Hellcat

Every morning around 4:30AM near Maltby Road, some clown starts up his car to drive to work. It is a modified car that is very loud and is made to backfire a whole bunch of times, so that it sounds like gunfire. All I hear is the buzzing sound of this thing, and then a bunch of gunfire as he backs off from accelerating. Does anyone know where this clown lives?

Open Thursday? 😬

Hello neighbors 🍁 I'm wondering if anyone has some clutch insight on potential dinner possibilities this Thursday in Kenmore/Bothell...?

[Edit to add: we're hoping for non Thanksgiving food, and we don't drink 😬]

My dude and I decided to finally use our 2023 xmas gift card for a night at the St Edwards Lodge (because the teen will be at her moms), and I've discovered that their lovely restaurant is doing a pre-fixed "Thanksgiving Menu" ($105pp) and while I'm sure this is so lovely for many guests staying on this night, we're... not interested.

Any ideas we could look into would be amazing! We like all cuisine (sans colonial 😅), and whatever the tax bracket— we just love food.

TIA!

Bothell, Washington house flag project

I wanted a Bothell house flag to represent my local community (closer to home) so hacked together this one. I've ordered myself one 5'x3' from online flag maker.

Sharing if anyone is interested.

High resolution version: https://github.com/billyanders/flags_signs/blob/main/Washington%20State%20-%20Bothell%20-%20Flag.png

I'm happy to post a photo of the printed flag once it arrives.

Making Local Market

City of Bothell Community Events

21 Acres Events

Where else do folks go to learn about cool events in Bothell?

Are there any support groups in the Bothell area?

I'm M 40, introverted loner. Life sucks balls. Anyway, I'm now dusting myself off and looking for ways to improve my social situation. I Googled for support groups in Bothell, and found NAMI support groups. But didn't see anything depression / loneliness specific. And there were two in-person groups - but they are in Seattle and Redmond, both of which take ~90 minutes of commute.

So, posting here. Are there any in-person support groups that meet in Bothell, hopefully focused on loneliness / depression?

Any recommendation for hair stylist in Bothell?

My hair is a mess. I'm 40 M, with male pattern baldness. Right now, I'm just ashamed of my hair and try to hide it with cap / beanie etc. which is not always possible.

Anyway, instead of giving up n moping all the time, I'm now trying to make some changes. Step one - looking for a hairstyle change. I of course don't know anything about hair styling. So, just going to a barber like Great Clips doesn't help. They'll just cut the hair the way you tell them to.

But I need some expert to tell me what hair style will look best on me. Someone who will examine my face/head shape, hair amount/thickness etc. and then show me options of what would look good on me. And then give me that haircut.

Are there any such places / services available in Bothell? My zip is 98021.

Best pizza in Bothell area?

My wife and I have been living here for about 3 years now and am curious where some good pizza is. We do Zeeks and sometimes Brooklyn bros, but want something not so crazy expensive and still good. We do like more of the New York style, but I imagine that’s hard to come by.

r/Bothell is open

Hey all,

After over a year of closure I messaged the admins and requested that the previous moderator team be removed so that the sub can be opened.

I’ve switched the sub to public which Reddit indicated may take up to 24 hours to take effect. I don't have any experience moderating a sub so bear with me and hopefully things don't go sideways. If anyone is interested in helping feel free to reach out.

Edit: yikes, apparently I made a poor first impression by throwing shade at the old mods. I’m happy to hand off moderating duties to whoever wants it, I just wanted the sub open to the community.

Bothell High christian indoctrination & ID scam.

Bothell high seems to be responding well to this but it's a good example of the deviousness of some groups in our country.

A christian youth group at Bothell High invited someone to come on campus for a lunch time sermon. In order to seduce more kids to join them they offered "free" pizza. But in order to get it they had to scan a QR code and in doing so their personally identifying information was captured.

The lunch time sermon was allowed because it was ostensibly a student originated activity, but I doubt very much the kids thought to set up a sneaky ID capture plan. I wonder how many other schools they have done this with and what they've done with the information. My bet is theyve sold it to right wing youth groups like turning point.

Vet recommendations?

I live in Downtown Bothell and would prefer to stick close to there.

My priorities are: Quality of Care, and low wait times for an appointment.

As far as cost goes: I'm not looking for a low income clinic, but my dog will need to get spayed so if you've had a pet fixed recently, I'd love to know how much you paid including any pre-op bloodwork and follow-up care.

Snohomish sheriff excessive force settlement

Adam Fortney is running for sheriff again, it is important that you vote against him or we are going to see more police brutality and pay for more settlements.

We have just agreed to pay the Dold family over one and a half million dollars because they needlessly escalated a situation where a mother called for help for her son and the Snohomish Sheriff department came and tortured him to death.

Alexander Dold was a 29 year old guy living with schizophrenia at his mom's house out in Gold Bar in 2017. He and his mom got into and argument and she fell while they were struggling over a phone. He went out to cool off and she called the county dept of mental health to try to get someone to evaluate her son but they said he wasn't violent enough to warrant such and eval and told her to call the cops.

When he came back she called 911 to try get them to take him to a hospital and told them he was calm and co-operative. Dispatch turned that into a domestic dispute with a guy who was off his meds and came prepared to shock and awe.

They shoved their way into the house and tried to grab him and handcuff him but he didn't comply. Five deputies were involved beating him with batons, punching him in the face and bending his fingers back until they dislocated. They tased him five times and choked him to unconsciousness twice. He never woke up from the second time.

The main instigating deputy, Bryson McGee had killed another man the same way a few years earlier (coating us $600k). He was never disciplined. When he killed Mr. Dold he was allowed to resign rather than face any repercussion for this execution either.

But apparently when your sheriff is so corrupt he lets bad deputies stay on the force it costs us, the people paying taxes here, quite a bit of money

Please suggest me things to do within 2 miles of Canyon Park Mobile Estate.

Introduction:

30+ YO Male, living near Canyon Park Mobile Estate on the 228th Street Southeast. Not athletic. Don't have a car. No friends.

Situation:

I've lived in Bothell 98021 for quite a few years, and in all these years, I've almost always stayed couped inside my house. Except for when I had to go to QFC or Fred Meyer to get groceries. This extreme indoor living is messing with my mental health and I find myself silently crying every day.

Looking for:

Anyway... I'm thinking going on an evening walk nearby or sitting at a public park or near a pond or such might do me some good. I looked up on Google Maps and saw some options.

I found these 3 things within 2 miles of my place -

  1. North Creek Trail - Looks like that's just for walking. Are these are sitting areas or place to sit near a pond or something in this trail?
  2. Miner's Corner Park - This looks like a children's park. Are solitary adult males allowed here? Can I take a walk / spend time here or will that be frowned upon / met with hostility / suspicion?
  3. Evergreen Church - Can I just go sit here in the pews and get some peace n quiet? (I'm not Christian, if that matters.)

Is there anything else I can do in my limited 2 mile radius area?

Meetups / Support Groups?:

Does Bothell have any mental health support groups (or such) / or meetups? How do I look those up? Google is showing things in Seattle / Bellevue etc.

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Careers @UWB for MS in CSSE

Hello everyone. I’ve heard many good reviews about UW Seattle campus but very little from the UWB alumni. I have been admitted to the MS in CSSE at UW Bothell and I am confused if it has the same value as a UW Seattle degree.

Secondly, I understand that the current job market at USA is not great but normally, how valuable is the CSSE degree when it comes to landing the FAANG jobs. Yes I also understand that it goes down to our personal efforts to get a good job but I will be turning down USC MS CS and NYU MS CE to get the UW education.

Personally, I think UW has better computer science school but does UWB computer science department stand up to the promise of of UW? Am I making a mistake if I turn down the big fancy colleges for the small but more focussed one?

MS CSSE alumni, please pain me a good picture of what’s what. Thank you for your advice!
