Family Event: Sustaina Mania! June 7th!

One of the best things about Bothell is how lush and green it gets in the spring and summer. Part of the reason we have such a beautiful city to live is the Bothell Cool program. BothellCool is the City of Bothell’s sustainability program.  It focuses on helping the community reduce their environmental impacts and carbon emissions while improving their community and standard of living. They do a ton of great work locally, now you can join in the fun!

Looking for a great way to help the local Bothell environment? Want a fun way to teach your kids ways encourage a sustainable lifestyle? Why not check out Bothell Cool’s Sustaina Mania event happening June 7th, 9-30am to 2pm at the Public Works Operations Center at 21233 20th Ave SE, Bothell Wa, 98021. There will be a ton of activities, free prizes and over 25 booths with local vendors. That’s not all. They also will be having a Recycling Collection where you can bring your old batteries, electronics, Styrofoam, plastic bags and CFL recycling (fluorescent bulbs and tubes)
