Living in Westhill

Westhill is a quiet, family-oriented neighborhood in Bothell known for its larger lots, mature trees, and proximity to both downtown Bothell and major Eastside employment centers. The housing stock is primarily single-family homes ranging from 1980s-era ramblers to newer construction, supplemented by a growing number of townhomes. Westhill sits within the Northshore School District, one of Washington's highest-rated districts, and offers a suburban feel with easy access to I-405 and SR-522.

Westhill is car-dependent for most errands (Walk Score 45) but offers decent cycling infrastructure (Bike Score 43) and some transit access (Transit Score 36). The neighborhood's appeal is its proximity to downtown Bothell's walkable Main Street corridor, which has undergone a significant revitalization in recent years. Wallace Swamp Creek Park provides hiking trails through forested wetlands. The Burke-Gilman Trail and Sammamish River Trail are accessible for cycling and running.
