Shelton View

Applied for by City of Bothell · Snohomish County · 26.86 acres

What the application says

“Transferring the Shelton View Parcel to the City of Bothell would enhance public benefits by ensuring the parcel's formal preservation, long-term stewardship, and integration into the city's park system... transform an informal community resource into a formally protected and well-managed park. [98.176% tree canopy per application.]”
