Kirkland’s hometown newspaper started life as the Courier in 1979, renamed the Kirkland Reporter in 2008. While growing into an affluent waterfront suburb of Seattle, Kirkland today is tempered by a small-town heritage that still resonates with residents and visitors alike. Founded in 1905, the city is adorned with several city parks along Lake Washington and remains the lake’s only waterfront downtown. Reflecting the town’s unique qualities, warehouse chain Costco adopted the “Kirkland Signature” brand when they were headquartered here, bringing the town’s name to national prominence. Kirkland’s many restaurants and art galleries, a 400-seat performing arts center, numerous public parks, beaches and good schools make the area one of the most desirable places to live in the Puget Sound.
