ARTS & OUTDOORS

Arts and the outdoors

River trails, local history and practical planning for an afternoon out.

The city’s parks overview describes river, stream and wetland trails, play areas and sports fields. The Sammamish River and Burke-Gilman trails run through Bothell and connect to a much wider regional route; do not treat that whole route as a short city walk. Check weather, closures and accessibility directly.

Leave yourself a little room.

Pick a starting point and build from there. Confirm opening hours, access and reservations with the venue; this guide does not imply availability or an affiliation with the places mentioned.
