Located on Lake Washington, life in Downtown Kirkland is all about the water: boating and sailing, swimming, and fishing. In fact, two local marinas -- Marina Park and Carillon Point -- have guest moorage so visitors can hop off their boats and go shopping or have dinner downtown. For those who prefer to get around on land, Kirkland offers miles of bike lanes and a series of bike routes called the "7 Hills of Kirkland." Downtown Kirkland has a bicycle rental program, as well. Big Finn Hill Park, a 220-acre park, includes a five-mile mountain bike trail.
Downtown Kirkland is very walkable -- in fact, with the beautiful scenery, walking may become your favorite way of getting around. Be sure to try the Lake View Walk -- it's just over a mile along the waterfront and leads past some of Kirkland's best outdoor artwork. With Woodinville Wine Country next door, Downtown Kirkland residents enjoy some of the region's top restaurants, wineries, and tasting rooms.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
