Which Housing Strategies Are Most Important to You?
The City released the draft Housing Action Plan (HAP) in May 2026 – now we want you to help Bothell prioritize housing strategies. Community members, Planning Commission, and City Council together identified six key housing goals. The HAP includes strategies to implement each goal, acting as a roadmap to greater housing variety, availability, and affordability in Bothell.

Top community priorities from this engagement included:
- Increased housing options
- Strategies to reduce costs
