We thought you might enjoy going along as we walk the eight short blocks from our house to Lake Washington. These pictures were taken early in the morning. Someday we'll take pictures when the light is better.
Starting point
This office complex is across the street from us. The picture is taken from the end of our driveway.
Apartments and homes are squeezed into tight spaces. These homes are just a few doors from us.
New house at the end of our block. Towards the end of the house on the second floor you can barely see a spiral staircase that leads to a rooftop deck.
At the end of our block - heading down Kirkland Avenue. Lake Washington is in the distance. On a clear day you see the Olympic Mountains.
Single family homes at the end of our block
Moss is everywhere - must have something to do with all the rain!
QFC grocery (owned by Kroger)
Kirkland Performance Center
This cafe has soup, sandwiches, and pastries.
Community center and pools
The grandchildren saw this place and suggested that Grandma take lessons. They said it wouldn't take long for Grandma to get a black belt!
Kirkland library & sculpture
Heathman Hotel
Another cafe, more shops & sculpture
Apartments & condos
Almost to the center of town - Variety of restaurants - Greek & Italian, Japanese/Teriyaki, & "Asian Veg"
One of our favorite places to eat
Cafe Happy, "Asian Veg Food"
Downtown - Kirkland Avenue and Lake Street - Lake Washington is at the end of Kirkland Avenue
Shops, restaurants, hair salons
Olive You Restaurant
Marina Park on Lake Washington
Seattle is across the lake
In the block around the intersection of Lake & Kirkland
Cupcake shop
Many restaurants on both sides of this block
On the way back home
This hill is steeper than it looks
On another walk we'll show you other parts of this wonderful town. Thanks for walking with us!
