Building History
Former Bothell City Manager Bob Stowe, who served from 2005 until 2016, was important in creating the public-private partnership that financed the $47-million-dollar city hall. Lynn Thompson, a writer for the Seattle Times, wrote of the financing: "Stowe also pushed a controversial funding plan for a $47 million City Hall that opened last year. The plan involved a lease-and-development agreement with a private developer, Vulcan, and a cost of almost $1,000 per square foot for the four-story office building and three-story underground parking garage. That plan wasn’t sent to voters, but was approved by the previous council."
