Neighborhood Services

A crowd of people enjoying a celebration in a City park.

Neighborhood Services supports civic engagement in the City of Kirkland, which is the active participation of community members in seeking to make a difference in the civic life of the community. This includes having the ability, agency, and opportunity to be involved in the decision-making process for community benefit.

The division works with Neighborhood Associations, which are independent 501(c)3 or 501(c)4 organizations that serve to enhance the civic life within their neighborhood boundaries; and community-serving organizations (CBOs) that do not have a boundary area but serve Kirkland and the region as a whole.

Neighborhood Services supports the following:

The Neighborhood Safety Program (NSP)
The Neighborhood Grant Matching Program
Kirkland Alliance of Neighborhoods (KAN): More info below.

Below is a list of the 13 Neighborhood Associations in Kirkland.

Kirkland Alliance of Neighborhoods (KAN)

KAN is a coalition of the City’s thirteen neighborhood associations, which serves as an effective voice in communicating neighborhood concerns to the appropriate City entity. KAN members include a designated representative and the chairs of the various associations who meet each month to share information on important city-wide issues and events.
