Imagine  sitting on a park bench watching a flaming sunset over Lake Washington with  views of Seattle and the Olympic Mountains in the background. You then stroll  along the lakeshore passing parks, upscale condominiums, beautiful marinas, art  galleries and unique boutiques until you come to the perfect restaurant.  Hmmm...what will it be tonight? Fresh, local seafood? Ethnic cuisine? Elegant  fare? Or a juicy burger served with a cold Northwest microbrew? If this is your  idea of the perfect place to live, then you'll want to consider Kirkland.

  Located just north of Bellevue on the shores of Lake Washington, Kirkland  features a resort-like atmosphere thanks to the preservation of more than 25  percent of its waterfront for public use, including seven parks. Shoppers can  choose from a variety of quaint downtown waterfront boutiques or major shopping  in the city's north area. The restaurants also are world-class. And the scenery  is breathtaking.

Many businesses, ranging from light industrial to high  tech, are calling Kirkland home, with a number enjoying offices overlooking the  water and shoreline. Kirkland also is the headquarters and training camp for the  Seattle Seahawks, the NFL football team. Homebuyers have a number of attractive  neighborhoods to choose from, whether it's a waterfront condo or traditional  single-family home. As you can see, there are a number of advantages to living  in this upscale, lakeside community.
