The "McM's Project"


I am pleased to have been hired to paint decorative, historic panels for a new McMenamin's complex in Bothell, Washington.



The old Andersen School  has been restored and remodeled  by McMenamin's Pub and Hotel chain, a company based in Oregon.  They have transformed  the brick building which once housed the Bothell High School, and surrounding acreage on which there stands now a Hotel,  a Brewery and Pub, several  Restaurants, a first run cinema, and a swimming pool  just off Interstate 520 in Bothell's historic hills.   The complex opened October 15 2015.


A hallmark of McMenamins' establishments has been a rich decor of original paintings and photographs of the history of the location.  Bothell was one of the earliest towns in the territory, and has a rich story which includes the school itself and the local trades, activities, celebrations and interesting characters.
