Bothell has always been known as a logging community since its incorporation in 1909. Bothell did not develop into a suburban community until the end of World War II with the construction of highways connecting Bothell with other metropolitan cities.

This has changed within the last few years as a variety of different businesses have moved into the area. The current business developments have created about 17,000 jobs.
