The really bad development in Bothell tends to be in the unincorporated areas in Snohomish County that only use Bothell as a mailing address. There's also some bad developments that are part of recent annexations that would not have been approved with the city regulations in place at the time. Bothell proper has fairly decent regulations, and is even planning for walkable, dense development in the so-called "downtown" area that is just southeast of our house. Of course, there are some dinosaurs on the local planning board who are trying to blunt that plan and make it more "Bothell-like"; i.e., repeating the mistakes of the 50s-90s. I actually watch the city government TV programming from time to time and there's one woman in particular who drives me batty with that kind of thinking.
