Past emergencies and recovery needs in Bothell

Federal records show King County and Snohomish County designated in 41 declarations since 1964, led by flooding (17 declarations) and severe storms (17 declarations). Kenmore has a page of its own with the federal declarations for its county, useful when one project crosses the line.

The most recent is Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4906), declared April 7, 2026, with the incident beginning December 5, 2025. Flooding tends to knock out power and drainage first, leaving kitchens unable to cook or keep food cold even when the building is standing. By incident type, the count is flooding 17, severe storms 17, earthquake 2, mudslides and landslides 2 and wildfire 1. By decade: 1960s 2, 1970s 4, 1980s 3, 1990s 8, 2000s 9, 2010s 8 and 2020s 7. Before that came Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (EM-3629, December 12, 2025), Severe Winter Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4775, April 28, 2024), Severe Winter Storm, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4682, January 12, 2023), Bolt Creek Fire (FM-5455, September 10, 2022) and Severe Winter Storm, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4593, April 8, 2021).

NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 2 county-based severe-weather event records for King County between 2016 and 2025, led by flood events (2). NOAA's largest reported property loss there is $474,000, from a flood in January 2021. Floodwater leaves a building standing but unusable, so cooking, dishwashing and cold storage have to run from a trailer on higher, firm ground.

Since 2016, NIFC perimeter data lists 2 large wildfires beginning in King County, about 16,739 acres in all. Bolt Creek (2022, 14,821 acres) was the largest. Fire weather means planned power cuts as well as fires, and a walk-in cooler does not keep product cold through a long shutoff.

A declaration designates an area for federal assistance; it does not describe damage at any one address.

Infrastructure work around Bothell

USASpending.gov lists 100 or more federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in King County since October 2021. In October 2024, the Department of Defense awarded a $337 million contract for “Howard A. Hanson Dam Additional Water Storage Project (Awsp) Fish Passage Facility (FPF) Idac” in King County, with work running to December 2031 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $174 million Department of Homeland Security contract, “Acceptance of Contractor Proposal for Base Seattle Cercla/Psc Homeport Phase 1b Project,” starting September 2026 in King County (award record). The Department of Defense committed $153 million to “Construction of Mud Mountain Dam Fish Passage Facility in Buckley, WA” in King County, awarded March 2018 (award record). Another public record is “Construction of Tahoma National Cemetery Phase 3 Development,” a $79 million Department of Veterans Affairs contract from October 2024 in King County (award record). Work like this puts crews on a site for months, often far from a restaurant, and the meals become a logistics question before the first shift starts. A project in Woodinville, about 13,942 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Major renovation in Bothell

No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for King County. The nearest is in Snohomish County, about 39 miles away. In November 2023, the Department of Defense awarded a $7.8 million contract for “Replace Harlow Fars- Nse” in Snohomish County, with work running to January 2026 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $4.4 million Department of Defense contract, “X003 Repair Electric Distribution Service SW-6, Everett,” starting January 2023 in Snohomish County (award record). Renovations like this are the usual reason an institution leases a mobile kitchen, because the permanent one cannot run while the work is under way. A remodel in Brier, in Snohomish County, would start from the same closure date and the same temporary-kitchen question.

Getting emergency equipment into Bothell

Public emergency operations in Washington are coordinated by the Washington Emergency Management Division (EMD), with county emergency managers handling local response. Staging areas and access routes for disaster response are published by those agencies and can change, so this page does not draw a route. For work in Lake Forest Park, look to the agencies covering that area rather than assuming the same routes.

The nearest hospital in CMS's list is BHC Fairfax Hospital, in Kirkland, about 5 miles from Bothell in a straight line.
