1. Why is Lot EFG Vacant?

Lot EFG is one of six cleanup sites in historic downtown. In 2006, the City of Bothell embarked on an ambitious plan to transform its downtown. Part of that plan is to clean up contaminated groundwater and soil left behind by gas stations, vehicle maintenance facilities, and dry cleaners over the past 100 years. 

The City of Bothell is working closely with the Department of Ecology to remediate all six lots, including EFG. The City anticipates the site to be ready for redevelopment in 6 to 8 years.
