UW Bothell is a regional university that is embedded in our community. We work closely with local governments and regional partners to support the campus community and strengthen the broader region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local Government Relations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

UW Bothell partners with local governments to advance shared priorities that support our students, faculty, and staff \u2014 and strengthen the overall well-being of the region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

City of Bothell<\/strong> 
We work in close partnership with the City of Bothell<\/a> to support efforts that enhance transportation, sustainability, housing, and infrastructure. The University regularly engages with Bothell City Council<\/a> members and staff and actively participates in city-led planning initiatives and advisory processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

King and Snohomish Counties<\/strong> 
UW Bothell is uniquely positioned at the intersection of King and Snohomish counties. The University works with both the King County Council<\/a> and the Snohomish County Council<\/a> to support regional planning, public health, transportation, and human services initiatives that affect our campus community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community Relations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

UW Bothell is deeply connected to the broader region, building lasting partnerships with civic, business, nonprofit, and educational organizations that share our commitment to student success and community impact. These collaborations help align our work with regional priorities and strengthen the social and economic vitality of the diverse communities we serve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chambers of Commerce<\/strong> 
We are active members of the Bothell Kenmore Chamber of Commerce<\/a>, the Economic Alliance Snohomish County<\/a>, and the East King Chambers Coalition<\/a>. Through these networks, we support regional economic development, foster collaboration, and contribute to coordinated advocacy efforts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transportation Partnerships<\/strong> 
We partner with Sound Transit, King County Metro, and Community Transit to improve accessibility, expand mobility options, enhance campus connectivity, and contribute to long-term regional transit planning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neighbor Relations<\/strong> 
We maintain relationships with nearby neighborhoods and community groups, including the Campus Town Community Advisory Committee, to support ongoing dialogue around safety, livability, and future campus development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
