n11 Clearwater Commons

The Clearwater Commons was started in 2006 and is on 7 acres of beautiful streamside property in Bothell.  After 6 years of permitting process we are just completing the first four homes out of 16.  The Co-Housing project is one of the most deep green and comprehensive low impact developments in the Puget Sound region.

• A streamside restoration project has just been completed demonstrating the latest techniques in joint flood plain management and salmon enhancement.
• The property is a zero discharge low impact development including pervious pavement, bioswales, raingardens, green roofs, and pin-pile foundations on the homes.
• The new homes include many green features including advance framing, passive solar, heat recovery ventilators, rain screens, rain gardens, and pervious paths.
• One of the first certified passive houses in the state, built by community college students, called the Mini B is located here and is open for tours.
• There is solar hot water and solar PV on site together with an adjacent school and green home remodel of an old farmhouse.
