Welcome  Bluetooth.  I hear the company has moved from Bellevue to Kirkland. According to Kirkland Views, Bluetooth’s move to Kirkland is because:

Reasons for choosing Kirkland include location, amenities promoting a healthy lifestyle within a new building, competitive market pricing, and a larger space that allows for future growth.

Their new office is located on Lake Washington Blvd NE, just down the road from my Windermere Real Estate office.  We’re neighbors. The Windermere office overlooks the wetlands, which are beautiful, but the Bluetooth office looks out over Lake Washington, the Olympic Mountains, and sunsets.

This view is similar to the view from Bluetooth’s new office, but from a different point on the lakeshore.

Kirkland is a wonderful place to live because of its great parks, the lake, and the vibrant downtown.  So living anywhere in Kirkland would make a Blutoother’s(sp?) commute just a matter of minutes.

I live in the Kirkland Highlands and can speak for what a great, active community it is.  The Highlands is located close to downtown and has easy access to buses and the highway.  We’re just 1/2 mile to Parkplace and a little over one mile to downtown.

Our neighborhood is made up of a variety of homes.  There are homes from traditional to contemporary, homes that are close to a century old and brand new.  Homes range from condos/planned unit development homes in the $200,000 range to single family homes over one million dollars.  There’s a home to fit every style and budget.

We have wonderful parks in our community and an active group of Kirklanders, who have taken on the stewardship of Cotton Hill Park, a park that has been reclaimed from invasive plants.

Homes in the Kirkland Highlands are located blocks from Peter Kirk Elementary and Kirkland Junior High Schools, both part of the highly rated Lake Washington Schools.

There are many other reasons to live in Kirkland.  Anyone want to share some of their favorite reasons to live in Kirkland?
