Kirkland, WA
We love Kirkland -
1/12/2011We are not living in our home in Kirkland at the moment (retired now and moving about) and we miss it. Our home is in a lovely small cul de sac and backs on to a wonderful wetland preserve with a small creek running through those giant Big Leaf Maple trees and tall Fir Trees. Deer visit frequently and birds of all kinds made a stop on their way north or south so our back deck overlooks a huge natural aviary. Our neighbours have been wonderful and we miss them too.
We chose the location primarily because of the surroundings but also because it had great access to so much. Boeing, Microsoft and the hi tech corridor are all an easy east side commute. (Our neighbour used to ride his bike on the Burke Gillman trail to work.) The Woodenville wineries are near as is the village of Kirkland on the lake with lots of restaurants, some art galleries, walks and places to go swimming in the lake. After living in Kirkland for 9 years, I would recommend Kirkland or the east side of Seattle to anyone.
