Did you attend Anderson School in Bothell

The transformation of the historic Anderson Building into a McMenamins hotel and brewpub will be soon underway and McMenamins is collecting memories from those who attended or were employed by the Anderson School. If you have stories and memorabilia that you'd like to share, please contact the City of Bothell Historic Preservation Consultant, Brooke Best at (425) 486-8152 x. 4471 or brooke.best@ci.bothell.wa.us. Especially welcome are personal stories, photos and keepsake items such as yearbooks, play scripts, uniforms, report cards and letters. Original material does not necessarily need to be donated: McMenamins is happy to arrange for the copying/digital scanning of photos, documents and other items.

Construction on the Anderson Building and surrounding buildings is expected to start this summer.  McMenamins operates 57 venues in Washington and Oregon and plans to reuse the four existing buildings on the site as a destination resort in the Puget Sound area. The company plans to create a 70-room hotel including a restaurant, pub, movie theater, live music venue, spa, pool and meeting space. In the purchase agreement, Bothell residents receive free access to the pool and meeting space for 15 years. McMenamins plans to be open for business in the summer of 2014
