The City of Bothell is looking for Volunteers:

Get involved and give back to your community! Citizens are invited to apply for the City of Bothell's boards and commissions, which serve as advisory groups to the City Council. Positions are available on the Landmark Preservation Board, Library Board, Lodging Tax Advisory Committee, Parks & Recreation Board, Planning Commission and the Shorelines Board. The application period for these positions is open now and closes at 5 pm on Friday, February 8, 2013. Applications are available online or at the City Clerk's office, Bothell City Hall, 18305 101st Avenue NE, Bothell, WA 98011, phone: 425.486.3256. While some positions require applicants to be residents, several of the positions are open to residents of Bothell's urban growth area and non-residents.  Contact the City Clerk's office to learn more.

Volunteers are being sought to help on Parr Creek, which runs through the North Creek Business Park and North Creek Sportsfields. The City of Bothell and its project partner, King Conservation District (KCD), will remove invasive weeds and plant native species that will eventually grow to shade the creek and provide cooler, cleaner water downstream to the Sammamish River. Volunteers will help with this weeding and planting. If interested, please contact Janet Geer, Surface Water Program Coordinator for the City of Bothell, at janet.geer@ci.bothell.wa.usor 425.486.2768.
