Kirkland Walk

Pictures from a recent walk downtown. Here are some reasons we love this wonderful community. All of these photos were taken along the few blocks from our place to the lake.

Here we go

looking west from our driveway - camellia bushes on the right

Lake Washington in the distance & Seattle across the lake

This bush just begs to be touched - so soft & feathery

vivid colors

Park Lane was recently redesigned & is even nicer than before. The block long street is lined with art galleries, small shops & restaurants (including our gelato store). The street is sometimes closed to traffic for community events. 

back to our street

"Everything" is within walking distance - above - the library

below left - community pool - There's a 400 seat performance center next to the pool

below right - shopping area with grocery (blue roof), restaurants, bakery, fish store, independent book store, movie theater & other shops

Downtown Kirkland is built up with apartments and condos

Public art abounds - This life sized statue is based on a real person, Betty Lou

I miss the oaks and maple trees - But I love the evergreen trees
