Bothell annexation gets nasty

The campaigns “for” and “against” the proposed annexation
report hundreds of their signs have been pushed-down,
stolen, or covered-up with graffiti.
KING 5 aired surveillance
photos showing people damaging or destroying the signs.
Residents in unincorporated Snohomish County to the west,
north and east of Bothell are being asked if they want to be
included in the city limits. This is the second time in five
months they have held an election to decide the issue.
The “no” campaign won by 408 votes in November, but the
“yes” campaign went to the city council, which supports
annexation, and asked if it could try again with a
special election on Tuesday.
