An agreement with the City of Bothell limits UW Bothell/Cascadia to 3,000 FTE students until an entrance is built with direct access to State Route 522 on the south side of the site. This will increase the maximum amount of students allowed to enroll into the campus to 10,000. WSDOT completed this project and opened it September 2009.^[7]

UW Bothell is home to one of the largest wetland restoration projects on the West Coast, covering 58 acres. As one drives past the campus entrance, it is the field of plants without any structures on it to the left.
