The annexation that was put before the voters north of the city limits 
(referred to as the NEWBA, or North East and West of Bothell  

Annexation) on April 17, has failed.  Of the 6,765 voters, 55% said  

no, while 45% were in favor.  A lower percentage of the voters had  

said no to the annexation in November of last year.  If the proposed  

annexation areas in King County go forward it will be by resolution of  

Council.  At the moment the issue is not on the projected agenda.
