Incorporation
On February 2, 1993, a special election was held to consider incorporating the North Creek community into a city.[4] The measure failed 1,341 votes in support to 1,927 votes in opposition. Since that time, the community has grown in population, acting as a bedroom community to the nearby well-established city centers and growing business parks. North Creek remains one of the largest unincorporated communities in the county, despite its large population and commercial core.
Geography
The creek itself is a 12.6-mile-long creek that originates near the Everett Mall and flows southward through Snohomish County and northern King County. The North Creek community is located along the southern portion of North Creek, just north of the creek's mouth at the Sammamish River in Bothell.[5] The community also contains North Creek Park, a county park that features urban wetlands through which the creek flows.
