Kirkland as we see it today looks different than it looked 20 years ago and it will look different 20 years from now. Growth of the City has been shaped by a history of thoughtful planning for the future. The key to envisioning the best possible future for the City is robust and inclusive community engagement around the policies and regulations that will shape that future.
The information below will connect you to current projects that are updating the policies and regulations guiding future growth. You can also explore recently completed projects and learn more about Kirkland 2035, the community's 20 year plan plan for the future.
