Comprehensive Plan 101

What is the 2024 Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update?

The Comprehensive Plan is a blueprint for Bothell’s future.

The update is a process required by the State and completed by all cities in our area every 10 years. The Comprehensive Plan provides the framework for how Bothell can adapt to and plan for projected growth.

The Comprehensive Plan looks at all aspects of the City - from land use to transportation, housing to parks, climate change to natural environment - in order to form a complete picture of our City and region’s future.
