Kirkland’s location on the shores of Lake Washington gives residents access to all the Pacific Northwest has to offer. The city’s many beaches are perfect for boating and kayaking, while Kirkland’s scenic bike lanes — including the 5.75 mile Cross Kirkland Corridor — can connect you with local wineries and natural landmarks like Totem Lake.

In addition to its lakefront location, Kirkland also borders Woodinville Wine Country, making it easy to take advantage of its many tasting rooms, breweries, and wine bars. Residents can visit the area for a wine festival or winemaker dinner, or stay closer to home and enjoy one of Kirkland’s many happy hours. With so many options, you’ll never run out of opportunities to explore the Northwest wine scene.

Of course, there are also many opportunities for alcohol-free fun. You can head to one of Kirkland’s many spas for a day of pampering, shop the city’s unique boutiques, or catch some live music (and a bite to eat!) at local restaurants like George’s. After a good meal, you’ll be ready to walk Kirkland’s charming downtown and even catch a show at the Kirkland Performance Center, which hosts a year-round calendar of performances.
