A number of large building projects are being planned for downtown Kirkland at the Bank of America site, the Hector's site and the U.S. Bank site. The Design Review Board's web page is a good source of information and conceptual drawings -- http://www.ci.kirkland.wa.us/depart/Planning/DRB_Meeting_Information.htm 

Touchstone Development has purchased Parkplace and has a web site up to keep us informed and offer a means of communicating about their plans: envisionkirklandparkplace.com 

The City also has a web page devoted to the Parkplace proposed amendments:

The Port of Seattle has purchased the BNSF rail corridor through Kirkland and the Moss Bay Neighborhood. "Cross-Kirkland Trail" could become a reality.

For more info on the commuter rail/trail proposal, go to the Discovery Institute web site.

Cast Your Name in Stone!!  The Kirkland Heritage Society is working with the City of Kirkland to raise funds to complete the walkway at Heritage Hall, located at the foot of Market Street. Fill out this form and buy a personalized paving stone.  It's not too late to buy one -- still spaces left to fill.

Problems in your neighborhood with barking dogs, burned out street lights, party homes or other annoyances?  The City of Kirkland offers help on their Neighborhood Toolkit page.

Check out our Historic Photographs!  Our neighborhood and Kirkland as a whole have changed a lot in the past 50-100 years.

Here is a cool way to research historic Kirkland.  Find info on friends, relatives, businesses, or just news of days bygone by searching the archives of the old East Side Journal, Kirkland's hometown newspaper from 1918-1975.  Find a story of interest, then look it up in the Kirkland Library's microfilm archives of the paper.  Your webmaster would be glad to help, if needed.

Keep up with developments on plans to update the Evergreen Point Bridge at the WSDOT Trans Lake Washington Project web site.

We’d love to hear from you. Please us with your comments and suggestions.
