FYI for Kingsgate owners of smaller pets!

A coyote has been spotted in Hazen Hills twice in the last month and a half. Once in late August, and again on Oct 13.
Oct 13 sighting was just east of Hazen Hills Park on 121st Ave NE

Hello! My name is Emma, I'm a student and Lake Wa. Institute of Tech's accredited Dental Hygiene program in Kirkland.

I am looking for people who are interested in getting cleanings, restorative care, or exams. If you are in need of dental care, this is a great opportunity for thorough and affordable care!

We accept almost all types of insurance, and offer very low prices for those without insurance.

One thing to note: Your appointment will be longer than your usual dentist appointment, as I am still progressing through my degree and will have everything carefully examined by licensed dental hygienists and dentists at our school clinic.

Please message me or leave a comment if you are interested! I currently am in urgent need of a patient by next week, Tuesday Oct. 20th at 1:15pm, as well as Wednesday Oct. 21st at 1:15pm.

I have other availability as well if that does not work, although if you would like to come in next week, let me know ASAP and I will be more than happy to get you in.

Thank you!! :)

Experiencing an odd power outage this morning in this area. Part of our unit has lost power, part of it still has power just fine. Same at the local gym down the street. Our building fire alarm went off and fire department came and cleared the building. Some of the street lights are powered on but not others. It’s giving a very creepy vibe, but I’m not sure what could cause an outage like this?

Big back looking for more fried chicken recommendations:

1. Joe's Burger in Totem Lake- I guess they put loads of cornstarch because the crunch is amazing. No place to sit

2. Chicko Chicken in Bridle Trails- this place churns out double-fried chicken like a factory. Very consistent and predictable. Sauce never tasted quite right to me

3. Yeon's Chicken (RIP)- this place used to be the best before it closed

Meh: Hangry Joe, Zip Dak (but the staff at both of these places are very friendly)

With only few weeks to go for the midterm elections, i thought I should have received the ballots in mail by now. Is it just me, or have they not yet started mailing the ballots?

Hi everyone!

Useful local updates are easy to miss when they're spread across city pages, transportation alerts, neighborhood notices, and event calendars. I wanted to see whether bringing a small selection together in one place would actually be helpful.

So I put together Issue #0 of Kirkland Beat. It covers a few practical updates and events for October 12–18, including the Saturday recycling collection, Juanita road closures, and some local activities.

This is an early test, and it isn't monetized.

I'd appreciate honest feedback: Was anything here useful? What feels unnecessary? What would you want included in a weekly Kirkland roundup?

My partner and I (late 20s) are moving to Kirkland in a few months. Love the waterfront/downtown area, wondering what the best apartments are around there? I’m doing my own research, but would love any recommendations. Looking for 1bd/1ba budget is around $3.2k. Thanks!

I noticed yesterday it opened up, it was packed.

Is this a domestic goose?

I’m still pretty new to Washington, under a year, and honestly it’s been harder than I expected to meet new people. I just moved to Kirkland and It’s my birthday today, so I figured I’d try something different.
I work in tech, I’m 35/M, and I’m into dubstep, EDM, festivals, and dancing, especially bachata and salsa. I’m curious, I like good conversation, and I’m open to starting as friends and seeing where it goes.

I’m also going to the KaiWachi show in Seattle tonight. If you’d be into meeting up, grabbing a coffee or a bite, and maybe raving together, send me a message.

SOLVED. THANKS ALL!

Recently moved to Kirkland and am looking for a better dentist. But I have had terrible luck in the past. Any help would be great!

Greetings!

There is a black bunny (possibly a Havana rabbit) under the hedges in the area outlined. I don't have the resources or knowledge to trap the little guy, but perhaps someone here does. I haven't tried approaching it, but it seems domestic.

The area is specifically across from Peter Kirk Park, 10 feet from Arete.

Update on 10/10/26: I have placed a box with blankets and veggies inside. Fingers crossed!

Just looking to stay active today.

I’m strong in volleyball and pickleball. Basketball I suck at.

The 39,000-square-foot H-100 space in Kirkland Urban South, intended for a movie theater, has been leased to an undisclosed luxury fitness club.

Staff notes from the January pre-submittal meeting (PRE25-00912) describe converting the theater-designed space to retail fitness use. The City confirmed that a fitness club is permitted and would not require a master plan modification. Proposed improvements include new storefront glazing and relocating the main entrance approximately 30 feet south.

The subsequent permit application (BNR26-06772), submitted this September and currently under review, proposes reclassifying the space from A-1 theater occupancy to A-3 assembly occupancy and filling the theater pits to create a level floor.

While the lease is official, no tenant improvement application has been filed and no tenant has been publicly announced. Equinox, a New York-based luxury fitness club, is rumored to be the anchor tenant. Represented locally by Real Retail, Equinox has been exploring the Eastside market since opening its long-delayed, 50,000-square-foot Seattle location at Rainier Square in May 2025. Memberships at the Seattle location start at approximately $275 per month before tax.

For many, eliminating the planned movie theater breaks a longstanding promise to the Kirkland community. For nearly two decades, developers have presented a theater as a key component of the Parkplace redevelopment master plan. Parkplace Cinema’s closure in 2016 was an immense loss, and residents and the City Council have advocated for a replacement. That year, iPic announced plans for a seven-screen, 450-seat theater, but the deal collapsed following the company’s 2019 bankruptcy. Since KU South opened in 2023, the theater space, pits and all, has remained vacant.

The applicant’s project team includes CollinsWoerman as architect and BNBuilders as contractor.

Just like the title says -

Where in this area is your "go-to" for good prime rib?

Doesn't have to be only the 3 locations listed in the title.

Thanks in advance, friends!

I'm so excited I received my cottage food license after what felt like a looooong process.

Now I'm figuring out how to go out and have the community try out my products. Any ideas? I'm bummed that the farmers markets are over for the summer.
Mine is a home based energy balls business in Juanita.

Hello! Just moved to the area and looking for the best dispensary to frequent. Came from Denver, my regular spot had pretty consistent deals/promotions. Looking for something similar with a good selection!

I parked in the first parking spot on the right side of central way after the turn into lakeshore plaza this past Sunday to watch the Seahawks game at moss bay hall. I might have dropped my key fob. The Seahawks were playing the chargers. We left at halftime and I might have dropped them on the passenger side by the curb. It is a KIA fob. If anyone picked them up that’d be sweet to know. Thanks

Fire keeps burning with tons of water. Gas line?

Caught this while in stop and go traffic on 100th today... We had my newborn in the back seat, words do not do justice to how upsetting it is to see fellow drivers care so little for the safety of everyone else on the road.
