This street is a few blocks from where we live. There's a huge difference in elevation between our street and this street. I use a long, steep set of stairs up to this level as part of my morning walk/workout. Lake Washington is one block to the left. We looked at condominiums in the building on the left. This picture is a good illustration of what's happening to Kirkland's neighborhoods.
Kirkland used to be a small town filled with small homes. Thousands of people worked in the shipyards on Lake Washington. When the shipyards closed after World War II, Kirkland became a very sleepy little town. Decades later developers started building apartments and condominiums all over Kirkland. This picture illustrates a common sight in many neighborhoods.
Huge condominiums built right across the street from very small homes.
