Bothell Tapestries

For A Day Or A Lifetime

Oh, like you've got somewhere better to be?

This is an Easter Egger hen from Country Village in Bothell, WA. Her boyfriend is a fabulous Barred Rock. I drew her using colored pencils.

If you grew up in the Bothell area of Washington State, you're probably familiar with Bill's Dairy, a 30-acre farm that sat along Interstate 405, at Northeast 160th Street for nearly 60-years. Norwegian immigrant Knut Knutsen started out in 1904 by taking his cow around Seattle's Capitol Hill and milking it door to door, eventually making enough money to buy land for the land in Bothell in 1936. Soon the Knutsens were raising their own cows and goats, bottling their own milk and selling it around the Eastside. Bill's Dairy was among the first dairies in the area to pasteurize milk, eventually serving more than 1,000 customers, including local schools and grocery stores, plus Bill's sold direct to residential customers right from the farm.
