Living in Waynita-Simonds-Norway Hill
Waynita-Simonds-Norway Hill is a large, hilly residential neighborhood in southern Bothell that straddles the King-Snohomish county line. The area is defined by mature evergreen canopy, quiet cul-de-sacs, and homes on generous lots โ many with territorial views of the Sammamish River valley. Housing is predominantly single-family, with a growing pocket of condos and townhomes along Waynita Way NE. The SFH median of $1.15M sits above the Bothell citywide median, reflecting larger lot sizes and newer construction. Norway Hill's elevated terrain and proximity to Blyth Park, the Sammamish River Trail, and downtown Bothell's revitalized Main Street make it one of the more desirable pockets of the city.
Car-dependent suburban neighborhood with excellent access to nature. The Sammamish River Trail provides a 10-mile paved route for cycling and jogging. Blyth Park offers steep wooded trails down to the river. Downtown Bothell's revitalized Main Street is a short drive with restaurants, McMenamins Anderson School, and weekend farmers markets. The area is quiet and residential โ errands require a car, but outdoor recreation is at the doorstep.
