City of Kirkland

Planning and Building Department

 

Land Acknowledgment
We acknowledge that the Southern Salish Sea region lies on the unceded and ancestral land of the Coast
Salish peoples, the Duwamish, Muckleshoot, Puyallup, Skykomish, Snoqualmie, Snohomish, Suquamish and
Tulalip tribes and other tribes of the Puget Sound Salish people, and that present-day City of Kirkland
is in the traditional heartland of the Lake People and the River People. We honor with gratitude the land itself, the 

First People – who have reserved treaty rights and continue to live here since time

immemorial – and their ancestral heritage.

 

Vision Statement
Kirkland is one of the most livable cities in America. We are a vibrant, attractive, green

and welcoming place to live, work and play. Civic engagement, innovation and diversity are highly

valued. We are respectful, fair and inclusive. We honor our rich heritage while embracing

the future. Kirkland strives to be a model, sustainable city that values preserving and

enhancing our natural environment for our enjoyment and future generations.
