You never really did know the rules of that 4-way stop, did you? New Traffic Light- Going in at Kirkland Ave/3rd St (by the library/ Heathman) really soon. Sounds like a great place for it to me- so long as those ducks don't get too hungry. Kirkland Wednesday Market- will be happening at Marina Park this year b/c of the library and transit center chaos. Limited library services will be available at Park Place Books.Or you can always head to the library in Kingsgate. Parking on the lower levels of the municipal garage will still be open. Library Expansion- Library closed today 1/24 for approx one year. Kirkland Pump Station/Sewer Upgrade- right near the Transit Ctr- also getting re-done- starts in 2010 This function will temporarily move onto Central Way (by those big poplar trees). Transit Center-Getting ready for an extreme make-over that will take a year. Marina Park- The decking on the wharf is getting replaced. I wish someone would swoop in, buy it and turn that place around. It's the greatest opportunity that turned into the greatest frustration. Totem Lake Mall- Leases are running out but no new news here. The salmon's homes may take precedent over yours. Shoreline Master Plan- Still in the works, if you live near the water you should take the time to get familiar with the proposed changes that will impact you. NE 85th St Improvements- Ramsay said some call this the 'Aurora' of Kirkland- who knew? It will look much better when the power lines go underground, sidewalks are in, a landscaped center lane, street/pedestrian lighting improvements, pickles/onions on a sesame seed bun.īurlington Trail- King Co/Port working on acquiring the property- still discussions re: rail vs. Man, what I wouldn't give to have them gas my car and then try to find me a parking spot. :-PĬostco Gas Station- Approved- happening in the next 6 mos on the north end of the lot. Here's the quick and dirty in no apparent order:Īnnexation- City Council doesn't think the citizens of Kirkland are smart enough to understand this complex issue, so they are going to decide FOR us. There were some interesting nuggets of information that I thought I would share with you. I attended a meeting the other day where Dave Ramsay, our City Manager, gave an overview of the development that is (or was) happening around town and its current status. Not to mention your insurance up-to-date! ~j

So be extra careful, and it's always a good idea to have a household emergency exit plan in place. This is a good reminder that winter-time has the highest incidences of fires, likely from heaters and appliances. This house is just a couple blocks away from ours and when I walked out of the gym and saw this in the sky, coupled with the 4 texts and 3 voicemails I had missed, I assumed the worst. The cause of my near heart attack IS known. The cause of the fire is not known, but Kirkland Fire will be investigating. The upper level also sustained some damage and the house is uninhabitable. Witnesses said the fire grew really quickly, as is evident by the burnt up roof, attic, carport, vehicle and motorcycle. Luckily, there were no injuries- the couple was able to get out of their house safely.

Lots of 911 calls came in around 10 o'clock this morning when residents of Juanita saw billows of smoke and flames coming from this West of Market home (photo left, thanks LK).
