Bothell: North Creek Forest grant approvedThe city of Bothell has received a grant that will help it buy more parcels of land for the North Creek Forest. The federal Land and Water Conservation grant, administered by the state Recreation and Conservation Office, comes to $100,233 after matching funds are added in, although the city will need to raise more money to afford the land purchase. The city is seeking to buy 21.8 acres of hilly, wooded land west of I-405. Once bought, the North Creek Forest will be an unbroken 64-acre preserve that straddles the King-Snohomish County line. The North Creek Preserve was one of four LWC grant recipients this year in Washington, the others being in Tacoma, North Bend and Whidbey Island.
