Bothell straddles King and Snohomish counties, which creates an interesting dynamic: properties on the Snohomish side are often $50,000-$100,000 less than King County equivalents for comparable homes. Same city, same schools, different tax jurisdiction.
The median home price runs about $950,000. The UW Bothell campus has transformed the downtown area, bringing dining, retail, and a growing biotech presence. McMenamins Anderson School is a regional destination. The Burke-Gilman and Sammamish River trails connect Bothell to Seattle and Redmond.
Northshore School District serves most of Bothell and is among the best in the state. Older neighborhoods in the south end have character; newer developments near Canyon Park offer modern amenities.
Bothell is a common comparison market for buyers looking at Woodinville, Kenmore, or the SnoValley. It offers more urbanity than Duvall and more value than Kirkland.
If Bothell is on your shortlist, I can walk you through the King vs. Snohomish county line nuances and help you find the best value.
