Kirkland, WA

Kirkland, Washington, is known for its tree-lined streets, waterfront parks, and spectacular views of the Seattle skyline and the Olympic Mountains. It is located on Lake Washington, just across the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge from Seattle. In 2006, the population of Kirkland was estimated at approximately 46,000 by the U.S. Census Bureau.

The lakefront is the heart of Kirkland. The shore is filled with wildlife, recreational opportunities, beaches, and expensive condos. Shorebirds, eagles, and beavers can be spotted along the coast, while kayakers, sailboaters, and windsurfers play in the water.

ECONOMY AND INDUSTRIES

Kirkland was settled in the late 1800s and incorporated in 1905. Wool milling and shipbuilding drove the early economy. During World War II, Kirkland's Lake Washington Shipyard built numerous ships for the U.S. Navy. Traditionally, Kirkland has also been a transportation hub for the area, with ferries to Seattle running daily until the Floating Bridge opened in 1940.

Today, Kirkland's economy is centered on a mix of small businesses, corporate headquarters, high-tech companies, and light industrial businesses. Several high-tech companies call Kirkland home or have offices in the city. The video game developer Bungie Studios is headquartered in Kirkland, and Google, IBM, Microsoft, and Amazon.com all have offices in town.
