During a recent government meeting, officials highlighted the upcoming Welcoming Week, a national and regional initiative aimed at fostering inclusivity and community spirit. The council emphasized the importance of making Bothell a welcoming place for all residents, regardless of their background.

The initiative is designed to ensure that everyone feels at home in Bothell, reinforcing the message that the city is a place for everyone, whether they are new arrivals or long-time residents. The council's vision is clear: Bothell should be perceived as \"everyone's hometown.\"

To enhance community engagement during Welcoming Week, the city's community engagement team is brainstorming ideas to celebrate the occasion. Last year, the city produced videos to promote the event, and officials indicated that similar efforts are underway this year to further connect with residents and spread the message of inclusivity.
