Description
Kirkland lies on the northeastern shores of Lake Washington, a stone’s throw from Seattle over the I-520 Evergreen Point floating bridge. No other city has as many waterfront parks on this lake as Kirkland. And it has the only down right on the lake. Tree-lined boulevards, a low-rise downtown, lanes of boutique shops and restaurants, intriguing outdoor sculptures, many positioned for public interaction, and people engaging in all kinds of recreation, give Kirkland a feeling of being permanently on vacation. Peel away the first impression of those 'expensive' lakefront condos, and visitors discover what locals have always known-that Kirkland is an authentic, accessible, and affordable place to visit, walk around and play.
The locals from this city of more than 45,000 have avidly pursued their cultural, environmental, and recreational interests. Now, visitors from throughout the world are discovering what makes Kirkland a place of history, nature and metro 'lifestying'.
Strolling along Kirkland's waterfront parks and beaches is a popular pastime, made all the more romantic by panoramic views of the lake, Seattle skyline and Olympic Mountains that lie beyond. Year-round evening sunsets reflect the mood of the region and the season - crimson with heat in July or streaked with slate grey clouds and mist in March. Bald eagles dip into the water for fish while sailboats and windsurfers catch currents of air, kayakers explore the shoreline, and motorboats tie up at public docks next to restaurants in the region’s only downtown waterfront.
