In 2011, Friends of North Creek Forest made a promise to the City of Bothell to continue our partnership after the entire forest was saved. And while the completed purchase is a tremendous achievement, the work is not done. In fact, in many ways, the most exciting part lies ahead!

North Creek Forest is a 64-acre mature forest in Bothell, conveniently located just outside downtown Bothell and within walking distance of nearly 10,000 college students attending UW-Bothell and Cascadia College. It meets the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife’s definition of priority habitat and lies within 12 miles of every school in the Northshore School District.

The forest has nine wetlands and seven streams that filter water and protect habitat for endangered salmon living nearby. It is home to over 100 plant species, and a diverse array of wildlife. The forest provides inspiration for art, science and literature across all generations.
