What's New?

Interactive Dashboard Sneak Peek

Brand New - Kirkland's Interactive Creek Health Dashboard

We're excited to launch this brand new, interactive water quality dashboard!

Use the dashboard to explore the health of your neighborhood creeks, learn what you can do to help, and learn what the City is doing. 

The dashboard will fully launch next month, but we're giving you a chance to sign up for early access

Metro Flex

On-Demand Metro Flex Transit for North Kirkland

Have you heard about the launch of the new Metro Flex on-demand transit service? It serves areas in north Kirkland, Bothell, and Kenmore. It’s like Lyft and Uber, but it costs the same as a bus trip (which is free if you’re 18 or under).

The service operates 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
