Kenmore’s Moorlands Neighborhood: Country Living With Modern Conveniences
March 9, 2018 /This week, I get to talk about one of my favorite things to write about for Pickett Street: listings for new homes. I love interior design, and I find it very exciting to imagine the family or individual who gets to call each new listing their home.

As such, it’s a great choice for those of us who want to enjoy a Seattle lifestyle without actually living in Seattle proper. Now part of the Seattle metropolitan area, Bothell began as a much sleepier logging and farming town. The region derives its name from one David Bothell, who built the Bothell Hotel in 1885. Bothell began to grow in stages, first when the railroad came through, and then in the early 20th century when cars became king. With these new transportation options, more and more people could live in Bothell and commute to Seattle for work. So began a trend that crowned Bothell as one of Seattle’s most popular suburbs. Bothell has experienced something of a renewal in recent years, with city officials and residents alike striving to maintain the city’s charm while…Read more
