Geography

Bothell is a geographical oddity in that it straddles two counties (King County and Snohomish County). Because most streets in Bothell are numbered and not named, this has the unfortunate side-effect of causing all streets that cross the county line to change numbers. For example, 104th Avenue NE in King County becomes 23rd Avenue SE when it crosses into Snohomish County.

Education

Bothell is home to Cascadia Community College and a satellite campus of the University of Washington. The two institutions share the same campus, which opened in the year 2000, and are closely linked. Also, there is an ITT Technical Institute campus in Bothell.
