The Anderson School is a former junior high school that currently operates as a renovated restaurant, bar, and hotel in Bothell, Washington, 15 miles northeast of Seattle.[1] The Anderson School, designed by Seattle architect Earl W. Morrison,[2] was built in 1931 and opened as Bothell Junior High, later renamed after the school's first principal, Wilbert A. "Andy" Anderson.[3]

The school was purchased by the city of Bothell in 2009 and sold to McMenamins in 2010.[4] The hotel was redeveloped and opened in 2015.[5]
