Welcome to Kirkland

Kirkland, Washington, founded in the late 19th century by Peter Kirk as an envisioned industrial hub, was incorporated in 1905 and initially thrived as a steel town before transitioning into a residential and commercial center.

Nestled along the eastern shore of Lake Washington, Kirkland boasts stunning waterfront views, numerous parks, and a mild climate with wet winters and warm summers. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy waterfront parks like Marina Park and Juanita Beach, the Cross Kirkland Corridor trail, and golf at local courses.

Known for its vibrant arts scene, excellent schools, and safe neighborhoods, the city offers a lively downtown with waterfront dining, boutiques, and cultural events like Kirkland Summerfest.

As a tech-friendly hub home to employers like Google and Tableau, Kirkland supports a thriving economy alongside luxury waterfront homes, condos, and single-family residences in desirable neighborhoods.

Connected to Seattle, Bellevue, and Redmond via I-405 and Highway 520, with future light rail expansions, Kirkland combines natural beauty, innovation, and a strong community spirit.
