Guided Walking Tour to Reimagine Downtown Bothell

The City of Bothell is hosting a series of guided walking tours to gather community input for the Downtown Subarea Plan Update. These interactive tours are open to everyone who lives, works, or visits downtown Bothell. The tours will begin at Bothell City Hall. These tours are a chance to explore downtown and share your ideas about what’s working well, what could be improved, and what makes the area special to you. The tour includes a 60-minute guided walk through downtown, where you’ll have the opportunity to talk with City staff, point out areas of interest, and suggest ideas for the future of downtown. A shorter walking route and other participation options will be available to accommodate different needs and comfort levels.
