    Woodinville is one of those places in Washington that, to me, make the statement "great place to visit, but wouldn't want to live there" ring true.

    I don't know why it is, as I've spent plenty of time there, but there's something constantly uncomfortable and incomplete about the place, again, to me.

    Incomplete is actually a good word for Wood n’ hood. A very apt description, but I can’t say exactly why.
    Peculiar bifurcation by a valley freeway doesn't help a place grow in a cohesive way.

    Locating a high school half way up a hill, instead of at the top. Still better than being in a hole, like Lindbergh or Liberty, but still.

    Weird car lots, lumber yards, & building materials scattered about the City. General lack of cohesion or progression makes the place like a rock in your hiking boot. Just can't get comfortable there.

    Yeah, that's part of it. And various random boating sales lots, some of them closed, some not. Randomly located industrial business parks, then the nice stuff ... the wineries and all that, so far south that's it's like another place entirely. Mostly, it's like, "Where is Woodinville exactly? Are were there now?" We're going to upset @DerekJohnson here shortly. He doesn't take kindly to badmouthing the Wood.

    Bothell is better IMO.

    It sort of lacks a center. Same thing used to be said about Lynnwood, which the KISW guys called "The City Without a Soul."
