Summers in Bothell bring longer days, golden sunsets, and plenty of reasons to slow down and enjoy home. At 98th Avenue Apartments, the lifestyle is already luxe — now it's all about creating an atmosphere that feels cool, relaxed, and made for the season.
Start with the Sun
The glow of natural light is everything — until your space turns into a sauna. Draw your curtains in the early afternoon to block the strongest rays and keep the heat from building up. Try light-filtering drapes that still let in the soft light while dialing down the warmth.
Give Your Textiles a Summer Reset
Now’s the time to fold away those winter textures. Switch to breezy cotton or linen sheets, swap out heavy throws for lightweight blankets, and bring in neutrals or pastel tones for a calming, airy feel. Even a new shower curtain in a fresh color can shift the whole vibe.
Keep the Kitchen Cool
You already love your upgraded kitchen, but summer’s the time to get creative without turning up the oven. Cold noodle bowls, no-bake energy bites, and fresh fruit smoothies are your new best friends. And nothing pairs better with those quartz countertops than a crisp iced matcha.
Let Nature Breathe In
Small-space plants like peace lilies or pothos not only look amazing — they help purify the air too. Set a few near windows for a little greenery that softens your layout and lifts your mood. Bonus: they bring movement and freshness without clutter.
Refresh with a Rearranged Layout
Move that armchair out of the airflow, shift your accent pieces around, and let your layout breathe. Rearranging your furniture can help circulation and give you a renewed sense of space. Think fewer distractions, more openness, and an easier flow for your everyday routine.
End the Day on the Patio
Evenings at 98th Avenue are what summer dreams are made of. Whether you’re sipping something chilled or catching the last bit of daylight on your private patio or balcony, this is your cue to relax and reset.
Living at 98th Avenue Apartments in Bothell means your home feels just right—no matter what the season brings. Keep it cool, make it yours, and lean into that easy summer rhythm.
