history

Kirkland — Thumbnail History (historylink.org) The city of Kirkland, located on the northeastern shore of Lake Washington east of Seattle, is named for Peter Kirk (1840-1916). Kirk was a British steel industrialist who originally envisioned Kirkland as a bustling steel town. Kirk’s plans didn’t materialize. Nevertheless, Kirkland has become by the twenty-first century a thriving suburban community of almost 50,000 people.
Warehouse chain Costco previously had its headquarters in Kirkland. While Costco is now headquartered in Issaquah, the city is the namesake of its “Kirkland Signature” store brand.
