Welcome to Kirkland Downtown Association

The KDA was founded over 20-years ago, to help Kirkland businesses, especially small businesses, grow by bringing people into our downtown area. We host a variety of community events throughout the year that bring tourists and local residents into our picturesque downtown area to shop, enjoy our restaurants, cafes, galleries and the waterfront. Our programs and activities support the vibrancy, economic health, and inclusion that will keep Kirkland a growing, lively and wonderful place to live, work, play, and do business.

Biking offers numerous community benefits that contribute to the overall well-being of the community and its residents. Here are some key advantages:

1⃣ Reduced Traffic Congestion: Biking reduces the number of cars on the road, which helps alleviate traffic congestion during peak commuting hours. This benefits not only cyclists but also motorists, making the overall transportation system more efficient.

2⃣ Improved Air Quality: Bicycles produce no emissions, unlike cars, which contribute to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. By choosing to bike to work, individuals help improve air quality in their community, leading to better respiratory health for everyone.

3⃣ Noise Reduction: Bicycles are much quieter than motorized vehicles, resulting in reduced noise pollution in the community. This contributes to a more peaceful and enjoyable environment, especially in residential areas and along busy roadways.

4⃣ Health and Fitness: Biking promotes physical activity and helps individuals incorporate exercise into their daily routines. As more people cycle, overall community health and fitness levels improve, leading to reduced healthcare costs and a healthier population.

5⃣ Positive Social Interactions: Biking can create opportunities for social interactions and community engagement. Cycling promotes a sense of camaraderie among cyclists, fostering a stronger sense of community and social connection.
Biking around Kirkland provides a multitude of community benefits, ranging from improved air quality and reduced traffic congestion to enhanced health and well-being. Encouraging and supporting cycling initiatives can lead to happier, healthier, and more sustainable communities.

OddGoods is an independent Seattle-based artist en

OddGoods is an independent Seattle-based artist endeavoring to make your world a little more ... odd.
"I am passionate about creating products that bridge the gaps between art, education, and enjoyment—to create things that cause people to slow down and smile, even learn. I firmly believe that the arts are a critical ingredient for the development of every child, whether they grow up to become a scientist, doctor, salesman, or an illustrator. Puzzles and coloring products are an ideal passive means of introducing kids and adults alike to the world of art and creativity through hands-on activity—The strongest connections are made through experience."

☀🎸Join us July 25th at 10am on the shores of Juanita Beach for the tunes of Harmonica Pocket!

Silly and sweet, The Harmonica Pocket's kids music is for everyone from age Zero to Grandma.
Their thoughtful, acoustic and chill music is perfect for today's families with kids. Equal parts "Uplifting," "Organic," and "Clever," the "Pure pop goodness" of The Harmonica Pocket has been called "the musical equivalent of a big red balloon."
Harmonica Pocket shows are upbeat and festive, but not frenetic. Audiences are drawn in by the catchy, engaging songs and unexpected props. Humor, improvisation and play are generously sprinkled on top.
Shows incorporate a loop pedal to "build a band" with a big sound, right in front of the audience's ears. Each instrument is played, one at a time, to create layers of sounds - acoustic guitar, bass, ukulele, wah-wah guitar solos, harmonicas, and vocal harmonies.
