Third Floor Fish Cafe is going soon. I’m going to miss their fabulous sunsets views from the restaurant. It has some of the best views, along with good food, in downtown Kirkland. But it has become the latest change/casualty of the Kirkland restaurant scene.

There have been a lot of good byes in Kirkland.  This has been a year when we’ve seen such Kirkland mainstays as The Yarrow Bay Grill closing.  And now it’s The Third Floor Fish Cafe.  I’m sad to see them go.

The downtown core of Kirkland is one of the most important things that distinguishes us from other eastside cities.  With our waterfront setting, parks, shops, and restaurants, downtown Kirkland can be a happening place.

If we all can attempt to support Kirkland businesses of all kinds, it will help maintain our city’s character and uniqueness.  With our collective efforts supporting Kirkland businesses, we can help local businesses survive, keep downtown a fun, vibrant place.   Check out the Kirkland First website for a list of Kirkland businesses and all kinds of discounts for Kirklanders.
