A genuinely top-tier district

Northshore School District ranks #3 among Washington school districts per Niche 2026, serving 22,735 students with district-wide state test proficiency of 66% math and 74% reading -- genuinely strong results.

Individually strong high schools and elementary schools

Inglemoor High School ranks #28 among Washington's best public high schools and Woodinville High School ranks #14; Canyon Creek Elementary ranks #8 among the state's best public elementary schools. Individual school assignment varies by specific Bothell address -- and by which county side of the city it falls on -- so confirm directly for a target property.

A young, affluent, family-oriented community by the numbers

Bothell's median household income ($140,427) and low poverty rate (4.77%) support a genuine, real families-and-professionals relocation story, distinct from a retiree-oriented one.
