About Bothell West
Bothell West is an unincorporated census-designated place of 22,015 (2020 Census) on the west side of Bothell toward Lynnwood and Mountlake Terrace. It is classic north-end suburbia: 1980s–2000s subdivisions, the Northshore School District, and quick shots to I-405, I-5, and the Lynnwood Link station. Canyon Park's biotech corridor is minutes east. As a CDP it has no municipal government — county services, HOA neighborhoods — and straddles the King/Snohomish line in places, so verify jurisdiction by address.
