I'll have to plead ignorance, then! The only times I've gone to the northern cities on the Eastside are biking on the Burke, and since I'm not constantly checking a map it's not clear to me exactly where the boundaries are between Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, Bothell, etc.
As the roads go, Kenmore is just on the western side of the lake (its actually right above it, but there is a huge deadspace to the south of residences), you keep going that way and you are quickly in Seattle. If you go along the eastern side of the lake, you are basically in Kirkland which abuts Bellevue.
Bothell is basically equidistant from Seattle, Everett, and Bellevue (I was living in Snohomish County, so closer to Lynwood and Everett), basically under all those cities's influences.
