"The City of Bothell street resurfacing crew resurfaced the whole of 9th Ave SE (just over a mile in length). It was done with amazing speed and efficiency; It was like watching a well choreographed ballet or precision military drill. Trucks came and unloaded their tarmac into the surfacing hopper just in time with no holdups whatsoever. A great job: Well done, City."
