THE VIBE
A residential and commercial mix. A quick 5–10 minute drive to downtown Kirkland, or take one of the pedestrian bridges and walk to downtown or the Kirkland Corridor Trail. Convenient location with multiple 405 entrances, shopping at Costco or Safeway, rapid transit coming, and a quick drive to downtown Redmond and Totem Lake. Be careful when looking at properties near 124th & 126th streets due to large power lines. Lake Washington High School is here. On the more western side you can find perched-up views of Lake Washington and the Olympic Mountains.
