Kirkland, a suburb of Seattle, is home to over 92,000 people. Situated in King County on the waterfront of Lake Washington, Kirkland is a popular destination for those who want to work in or visit Seattle, but is also its own community with a unique personality and lifestyle. 

The city is most well-known for its waterfront area, which spans the entire downtown, creating a unique combination of water sports and fun while also operating as the center of business. There are art galleries, fabulous public art displays and a performing arts center recognized for its theatrical performances.  

Kirkland offers residents a wide range of things to do, including numerous community-wide events and festivals such as the Kirkland Waterfront Car Show, Kirkland Uncorked wine festival and the Kirkland Summerfest.  

Many residents also take advantage of the numerous award-winning restaurants in the city or spend time at the clubs and bars located in the heart of the downtown area. 

Along the waterfront are a number of walking paths, parks and marinas ideal for those who want to get out on the water. There are a few beaches as well as boat and kayak rentals, cruises, and plenty of open space for those who want to explore the region. 

Residents that enjoy golf will have several options to select from, including the Golf Club at Newcastle and the Woodinville Sports Club, both exclusive clubs noted for their stunning courses.  

Those hoping to enjoy the cultural aspects of the city can check out a performance at the Kirkland Performance Center or the Kirkland Arts Center, which also features the Peter Kirk Building dedicated to workshops and community-oriented artisan support. 

For those who want to explore the outdoors, the Bridle Trails State Park offers a wide range of dog- and bike-friendly trails as well as an equestrian path. Juanita Beach Park, a popular tourist destination, is a good weekend location to visit on warmer days.
