About

Welcome to Kirkland Views. News. Perspectives. Community.

This blog is dedicated to promoting the City of Kirkland and to providing the news and events often overlooked by our local newspapers.

Kirkland Views  is a local source for news and information tailored to the needs of the citizens of Kirkland. Kirkland Views is a place where one can read all sides of the issues, and then join in the conversation. 

What makes Kirkland Views unique? For one, we are focused on Kirkland. We publish stories not found in the local newspapers. Kirkland Views has neither the print deadlines nor the editorial limitations of the newspapers. Oh, and as an added bonus, we actually live and work here in Kirkland.

In the past, major issues with profound impact on our city have gone all but unnoticed by our local press. We believe that Kirkland needs a new source for news and information. One that is independent. One that is not beholden to special interest groups, King County or City Hall. 

We hope Kirkland Views will become a part of your regular reading and that you will share your views on these pages. We strive to become an asset to the community. We are here to help make Kirkland a better place in which to live and work. Our goal is to inform, promote and even provoke thought about the issues facing us all. Thank you for your participation.

Kirkland Views welcomes content that suggests new ideas and new perspectives on the issues. We welcome your contributions to the site (words, photographs, video, audio, drawings and PowerPoint presentations). You don’t have to be a professional to contribute to advancing the public discourse.
