Climbing Near Bothell, Washington

Urban climbing in Kenmore, Bothell and Woodinville. Roads.

The 68th Ave bridge across the Sammamish river in Kenmore has an artificial rock pattern on the west side that makes for some fun climbs. Discover pass required. Park at the boat launch or Rhododendron park.

Update April 2026: The park's only boulder has been removed. If you have further information about it or relevant plans for bouldering here, please leave a comment. This is a public park with a man made boulder. There are often families and kids about. Plenty of sun at all times of day.As there are a lot of holds and natural features on the boulder, I wanted to create a few problems that people could "complete" and as such, needed to define the specific holds to use for each problem. I tried to follow a Kilter Board colorway, so Green is starting hand holds, Yellow are feel ONLY, Teal are hands/feet and Pink is top out.Have fun and be safe! From I405, head east on highway 522 towards Woodinville. Take the exit for 195th st and head west. Turn right at the first intersection and there is street parking. Note this park is right across the street from a high school.
