Don’t have time to attend meetings regarding all the changes in Kirkland, but want to keep up?  Check out Kirkland Views blogI was impressed with Rob Butcher’s presentation and analysis of the latest city council meeting. 

 The Bank of America project was evaluated at the meeting, but rather than rehash the already well-written piece, here’s a link to the blog post and online discussion.    Bookmark this blog, so you can keep up with Kirkland changes.  Funny or sad-his next post is advertising positions on Kirkland’s Design Review Board.
