From the shores of Kirkland’s waterfront, you can look across Lake Washington and spy Seattle’s towering skyscrapers that’s how close you are to the big city.

Kirkland (pop. 88,630) is a city with urban charm but suburban comfort. It’s centered perfectly between two big cities (Seattle and Bellevue) and three smaller cities (Redmond, Woodinville and Bothell) with big bragging rights. It’s a well-rounded location close to all the fun, but somewhat removed from fast-paced city life.

Downtown Kirkland boasts a beautiful waterfront with a beach, park, marina, and strong potential to see paddle boarders or kayakers on a nice day. Inland you’ll find quaint boutique shops and a variety of dining options to satisfy any and all tastes.
