JUANITA & JUANITA POINT

THE VIBE

A relaxed, smaller downtown area than Kirkland proper, but a great residential and commercial mix. Juanita Village has a little bit of everything — coffee, sushi, dog grooming — everything you need. Across the street is Juanita Park, a large park with a walking dock that surrounds part of Lake Washington. In the summer people play beach volleyball, launch paddleboards, and there's a Friday farmers market. An off-leash dog park has stayed open due to high demand. Juanita easily ties into downtown Kirkland via a drive on Market Street or a walk through Juanita Bay into West of Market. If you're more northwest of Juanita, you can spot Mt. Rainier on a clear day.
