Kirkland

Kirkland extends along the eastern shore of Lake Washington in western Washington, and that waterfront position has shaped a Seattle-area community centered on parks, marinas and public shoreline. Founded in 1888 and named for English entrepreneur Peter Kirk, the town was planned around an ambitious steelworks project; the industrial venture did not endure, but the name did. Marina Park anchors downtown, while Juanita Beach Park adds another public lakeshore destination to the north. The Cross Kirkland Corridor follows a former rail alignment through the city and is now used by walkers and cyclists.
