Bothell UMC

Bothell United Methodist Church (Bothell UMC) functions as both a place of worship and a community space. Established in 1885, it has developed a reputation locally as a welcoming venue that supports dialogue, community programming, and cultural activities.

The church describes itself as a progressive Christian community that encourages conversation and reflection around faith, society, and ethics. Its facilities are used not only for worship services but also for educational, musical, and cultural events, making it a multi-use venue within the Bothell area.

Bothell UMC also emphasizes accessibility and inclusion. It publicly identifies as working against ableism and promoting disability inclusion, with attention to language, participation, and hospitality. Policies such as Safe Sanctuaries are in place to ensure safety and trust within the space, particularly for children and vulnerable adults.

The venue acknowledges its location on the ancestral lands of the Duwamish, Stillaguamish, Snohomish, and other Coast Salish peoples, reflecting a community practice of land acknowledgment and local historical awareness.

For cultural presenters, the venue offers an intimate indoor setting suitable for concerts, talks, and community arts programming.
