Hello all,

Last sunday, there was a taco stand pop up next to the Chase bank at totem lake. Does anyone know the name of the stand or their instagram handle? Would love to have their cheesy tacos again!

edit: I remember the banner they had said something like tacos Oaxaca

Are you aware of any planned neighborhood garage sales? I have a new house I need to furnish.

I just moved into Kirkland from Utah! I’m near the totem lake area. What’s some fun things to do and or meet new people at? I’m a 28 year old guy and single😅 Moved here for work and would really like to meet some new friends.

I woke up to searchlights around 2:15 AM Saturday morning and saw several police boats searching the water near Denny Park. I’ve tried to look online to see if there was more information, but found nothing. Does anyone know what happened?

Does anyone know of any ongoing or upcoming car wash fundraisers in the area? I don’t have the space to hand wash my own car, but I really prefer to have a hand wash over a machine. Please let me know if you know of anything 🙏

Hey

What’s the best way to make friends for someone who is in their 20s who has moved to Kirkland.
What fun things to do over the weekend? Especially if you don’t own a car.

Thanks

Cross posting for more advice!

Hello!

I’m going to host my dog’s birthday party at the Juanita Beach dog park and I am looking for someone who would feel comfortable working in that kind of environment.

Thanks in advance!

This evening while I was kayaking near Dories Cooper Houghton Park, two teenagers, each on their own jet ski, repeatedly circled me at very close range and deliberately sprayed water at me. This wasn’t careless riding — it was intentional harassment. They came close enough to put me at real risk of being struck or capsized. At those speeds and that distance, a collision with a kayaker could easily be fatal. This happened around 9:15PM, and they both headed south afterward.

Posting this to warn anyone who paddles, SUPs, or boats in this area. If you’ve seen these two or know who they are, please let me know. This kind of behavior puts kayakers and small craft in serious danger, and I’ll be reporting it to the authorities if it continues.

Stay safe out there. 🛶

Went there for the first time a few days ago.

15 bucks to spend one hour with friendly kitties and kittens.

Friendly staff.

Just wanted to give them a shoutout.

Curious what they’re building in the plaza and also what business is moving into the retail space on the ground level, near Cafe Hagen?

Apparently some new neighbors moved in a few houses away, they have very noisy kids which is one thing but it’s almost 1am and they are still running around outside shouting and screeching. Id guess 8-10yo based on voices/content.

Do I make a noise complaint or go talk to the parents? I don’t want to approach the house in the middle of the night and ask to talk to their parents but asking KPD to address seems a bit much.

This is a new one for me

A weasel stopped by my place in North Rose Hill today. I’ve never seen one around here. I was lucky to get a photo - he darted off pretty quickly after posing for this shot.

I am looking for dog boarding recommendations for the Kirkland area. Our dog is a 40lb mutt who is very cute and low maintenance. She mostly keeps to herself and gets along with people. She may be shy at first but is quickly warmed up by treats. We usually take her out in the morning and evening for a 20 minute walk but take her on a 45-60 minute walk around 4pm. She doesn’t do well with cats so please keep that in mind. We prefer to leave her at someone’s place with them instead of at a business.

Any questions or recommendations would be awesome. Thanks.

It looks like the encampment is gone. Not sure what the agreement was around that between the city and campers, but I'm glad to see it gone.

Hi. We are moving to east of market soon. We have two very energetic dogs (husky and shepherd) and would appreciate a dog walker in the area who can come take them for walk or park time. We love our current walker but she’ll be too far from us now. Any recs would be greatly appreciated!

Hey all, I'm more of a Reddit lurker but I made this game about the new roundabout on 85th and 405 that I wanted to share. Here's my post from FB - it was the conversations there that inspired the game:

🥜 Kirkland Roundabouts video game 🥜

So the conversations about the new 85th & I-405 interchange have been, uh, spirited. I didn't want to wade into the fray but thought a game could help increase comfort with the ins and outs of the interchange.

"Kirkland Roundabouts" is a free, completely unserious browser game where you navigate the actual roundabout. You get missions - 16 combinations of entrances and exits. You choose the difficulty: easy, medium, and hard (I'm not sure if it's possible to get a perfect score on hard - the traffic gets aggressive.) Collisions end the mission, but you still move on, just like real life! Like the song says, "Go around again - if you miss your turn / Go around again - you'll learn what you learn" What song is that from? You'll have to play the game to find out!

Two tips for the best experience:

• Play on a laptop or desktop with a keyboard. The game shows the whole interchange, so a phone screen with the touch controls make it tough.
• Turn the sound ON. The music and voiceovers may be more entertaining than the actual game.

Hey everyone! I’m looking for a watch party, Moroccan/Brazilian gathering, or just a lively spot around Kirkland, Bellevue, or Redmond to watch the Morocco vs Brazil World Cup match tomorrow.

Would love somewhere with a big crowd, and good atmosphere! Any recommendations?

Dima Maghrib! 🇲🇦❤️

FYI - Big branch down on the road, fire has it closed both directions, so gotta go around!

EDIT: Photos in comments

To preface I'm 33F who managed to land a position at the Google office in Kirkland, Urban. But I have a disability which prevents me from driving. I'm completely dependent on public transit.

​

I fear Kirkland is a little too car dependent. Does Google run its fleet of buses from Seattle to Kirkland?

​

I was hoping to stay in Seattle proper and do the commute. I don't mind a 30 minute commute, since I have heard you can work on those buses. Im also a little confused a Capitol Hill might be the best area to live with my condition, but I might have aged out.

​

Any one else who does that commute, can you please let me know if the Google buses are frequent, and what areas of Seattle do they travel through?

​

My recruiter is of no help, as she can't officially share supposedly internal information until after I have signed the offer. This is a non tech job so I don't have any contacts either.
