For over a decade, the City has conducted a statistically valid phone community survey every two years as part of its budget process. The City has also published an online version of the same survey for additional input.
The 2024 Community Survey gauges community attitudes about the quality of life in Kirkland, satisfaction with City government services, and priorities for the future in preparation for the Council’s adoption of their 2025-2026 biennial budget later this fall.
