Kirkland Overview
Located just east of Seattle, Kirkland is a welcoming community in the great state of Washington, brimming with possibility and ameniable to a wide array of lifestyles. Original home of the Seattle Seahawks, this arts-centric city offers waterfront views and plenty of exciting nightlife, not to mention easy access to the job market of 'the birthplace of Grunge'.
What is the history of Kirkland?
Initially settled around the completion of a steel mill in the late 1800s, Kirkland was known for coal mining, limestone deposits and other sedimentary value. Situated on Lake Washington, ferry operation took hold in the early 1900s, and in 1917 the first floating bridge saw its debut in the city. Warship construction assisted the war effort through the 1940s, and in 2009 the city was approved annexation, which added to its budding population and saw an overall resident count of well over 80,000.
How is the weather in Kirkland?
Those living in Kirkland apartments can expect overall mild temperatures and plenty of precipitation throughout the year, with average rainfall annually topping almost 40 inches. Temps rarely hover above 70 degrees, and though snowfall is uncommon the stigma of 'rainy Seattle' can some years prove true.
How do I get around town?
While a majority of those living in Kirkland rentals claim ownership of at least one personal vehicle, public transport options are still in high supply. King County Metro services bus routing, including longer transfers to Bellevue, Kenmore and beyond, while the nearby Seattle Airport offers both domestic and international flights on the daily.
What is the Kirkland commute like?
Interstate 405 is the primary roadway that runs in and out of the city proper, with Route 520 to the south leading to Seattle and beyond. Traffic tends to move briskly in and around the downtown region of the city, although those commuting to nearby job market may want to allow a little extra time on peak 9-to-5 weekdays.
What are the local media outlets?
A Kirkland apartment allots plenty of local media options, including radio formats such as modern rock, NPR talk formats and even jazz and hip-hop. Print news is covered by both the 'Kirkland News' and the 'Seattle Times', with a wide assortment of broadcast options also available thanks to numerous regional affiliates.
Why live in Kirkland, WA?
From scenic waterway views to a world of art galleries and eateries, life in a Kirkland apartment is a fantasitc way to connect with the great state of Washington. Bicycle and hiking paths abound, local universities consistently make the grade, and with numerous Kirkland rentals offering easy access to the hub of Seattle, this thriving city makes an ecellent commuter's paradise.
What Kirkland landmarks should I see?
The Kirkland Arts Center hosts gallery shows as well as pottery and painting classes, with Heritage Hall a popular place for a photo op as well. The Peter Kirk Building dates back to the late 1800s, and Saint Edwards State Park is a hugely popular destination located just a short drive from most apartments for rent in Kirkland.
What is there to do around Kirkland?
Take in a night of the stage at the Kirkland Performing Arts Center, or enjoy an afternoon of horse riding at the Bridle Trails. Climb aboard the Arthur Foss, arguably the oldest wooden tugboat in the world, or get entranced by the one-of-a-kind art installation the Sound Garden, all within easy reach of many Kirkland apartments.
Any annual festivals or Kirkland events to know?
The 1000 Lights Water Lantern Festival is a gorgeous end to summer on the sea, and Kirkland Uncorked celebrates all things wine every July. SummerFest also brings with it plenty of live music and culinary delights, with a variety of Kirkland rentals close to the downtown action.
Where are the nearby vacation spots?
Hop into the car and head to the college scene of Olympia, known for its antique stores, rare book shops and plenty of live music, or head south to Portland and the rest of greater Oregon, both convenient to a swatch of Kirkland rentals. Of course, Seattle is brimming with weekend getaway possibilities, and Washington is flush with camping, hiking and boating excursions for the outdoorsy types.
Where is the best place to move in Kirkland?
Whether you are on the hunt for a thrifty one-bedroom close to the interstate onramp or desire a roomy, luxurious townhouse complete with onsite amenities such as gym equipment, swimming pool and reserved parking, we are confident that the ideal Kirkland apartment for rent is out there waiting for you.
