Kirkland, WA is an eastside suburb of Seattle, WA. It sits on beautiful Lake Washington, and has an affluent population of nearly 33,000.
Kirkland is known for its beautiful, historic downtown area on the waterfront, with art galleries, shops, restaurants, cafes, and 400-seat performing arts center. It is also used to be the home of the Seattle Seahawks. Also of note: the “Kirkland Signature” store brand is named for the town of Kirkland, because Costco used to have its headquarters in Kirkland as well.
Kirkland, like many cities in Washington, was founded by Native Americans. Then, in 1886, Peter Kirk (a British entrepreneur), moved to Washington to find iron deposits that were reportedly in the Cascade Mountains. Kirk decided to build a town near the water; it became “Kirkland” in 1888.
