City Of Bothell News & Events

Citizen Input Requested Regarding Essential Public Safety Services

The Bothell City Council is urging residents to weigh in on the future of their public safety services. Population growth, emerging social challenges such as the opioid epidemic, and an increasingly complicated legal environment are straining the City's fire, emergency medical, police and municipal court services. The City Council wants to hear from the community as it explores options to address the mismatch between public safety demands and the City's financial capacity.

They want to hear from you. City staff, directed by the City Council, are actively seeking feedback from community members about their experiences, concerns and ideas regarding fire, emergency medical, police and municipal court services. The City invites you to share your thoughts.

Jaimeson Jones Memorial Scholarship Has Re-Branded & Is Also Seeking Donations To Create PBS Documentary

First, they have rebranded to more-fully reflect their mission, which includes their passion for saving lives by educating about testicular cancer. Welcome to the newly-minted Family Jewels Foundation!

Second, they have been invited to share in a thrilling venture with Praxis Media Group: a PBS documentary about the never-told story of Dr. Larry Einhorn (whom they just like to call "God"), who cured testicular cancer in the early 1970s and who gave them years with Jaimeson, after his initial diagnosis in 2005, that they never would have had. Before Dr. Einhorn's hard work and discovery, testicular cancer was a death sentence. Now it is 95-98% curable.

Please help ensure that this lifesaving production comes to fruition, by going to the production's GoFundMe page and donating today! Any amount you can donate is very much appreciated!
