Local history buffs will have a field day in 2009. The year 2009 will see the 100th anniversary of the incorporation of Bothell. The Northshore School District will have been consolidated 50 years earlier in 1959. The Northshore Scholarship Foundation will assemble its recipients for the 25th annual scholarship recognition event.
