Play hooky in this 1930s school-turned-playground
We revitalized Bothell’s first junior high with pure fun in mind – dining, movies, live music, swimming, games, shopping, tastings and all-around enjoyment for visitors of all ages.
No hall pass is needed to explore the five acres of gardens, bars and nooks: Sip a handcrafted beverage in the hallway, order drinks in the Principal’s Office, play pinball in the Woodshop, skip PE and float in the pool instead, and forgo the lunch line for casual, sophisticated dining at Tavern on the Square. Your only homework here? Explore, imbibe and enjoy!
Built in 1931 in the art deco style and later named for the school's first Principal, Wilbert A. "Andy" Anderson, the property is 20 miles north of Seattle, minutes from the Sammamish River Trail and adjacent to Pop Keeney Stadium.
A courtyard billowing with plants and trees is the heart of it all, the place to sit fireside with a beer brewed just steps away. Thoughout the property, unique artwork prevails, showcasing the history of the area and the fascinating people who were an integral part of it. Local artists crafted their interpretations based on historical photos and interviews from alumni, families and colorful residents.
