Over the course of my 40 years living, operating a small business and serving in Kirkland I have been so impressed by the culture of community and inclusion that exists in our city. Volunteerism and pulling together to make things happen comes naturally to Kirklanders and it has been a privilege and an honor to serve for the last 16 years on our City Council, five of them as Mayor. Identifying the individual who will take my seat is very important to me.
Meeting friends for dinner, gathering with family at a park, enjoying fresh air markets and festivities with neighbors, all with a backdrop of lush trees and sunlight sparkling on the water: this is summer in Kirkland, and it couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. As we emerge from the pandemic and reconnect with the people, places and events we hold dear, I’m truly grateful to live in and serve such a stunning city.
We’ve all heard and are living the stories: My children cannot afford to live in the neighborhood where they grew up, seniors are struggling to downsize or age in place, employees can’t afford to live near where they work. The cost of housing in Washington state has increased by a staggering 150% in the last decade. The median King County home price in 2022? Almost $1 million.
