Last month, the This Week in Kirkland podcast held a drawing for wine tasting, courtesy of Woodinville Wine Country. We asked people to send in what they love about Kirkland when they submitted their drawing entries. In honor of Valentine’s Day, we thought it would be fun to spread the Kirkland luv by sharing some of their answers. Thanks to all who entered the drawing, and for everyone who listens to the podcast!
- One of my favorite things about Kirkland is watching the sunset over Lake Washington. Whether I’m downtown at the marina or up in the Highlands, I truly value living in such a beautiful community.
- My favorite thing to do in Kirkland is crochet with my friends at Juanita Beach Park!
- Something I love about Kirkland: The plethora of greening Kirkland volunteer opportunities. Thank you! The podcast is such a great way to keep track of city updates.
- Being able to walk to Totem Lake and ditch my car on the weekends!
- I love the small town feel of Kirkland – the neighborhoods, downtown (still small and comfortable), parks, waterfront.
- I love going for walks on the CKC and exploring new places with my fiancé!
- What I love about Kirkland is its commitment to improving and growing parks and green space. For instance, the planning underway to build a green loop trail on top of Finn Hill will be an incredible addition to the area
- I love that Kirland has great parks and trails and soon….a Molly Moons!
- The city staff! You are all so helpful and kind….and dedicated to making Kirkland great.
- I grew up in Kirkland and moved back a few years ago to raise my son in the area. I love how, even with all our growth, some of Kirkland has stayed the same. Some examples are the staff at Tres Hermanos (shout out to Miguel!), the birds at Juanita Bay park, and the wave of the person you recognize at the grocery store. Kirkland is great because of the diverse community of residents and small business owners it has. We have great schools and parks, sure, but they would be nothing without the amazing people in them.
