Kirkland 5

In my opinion Kirkland is Seattle's nicest suburb. With a waterfront setting on Lake Washington this is one of the few suburbs that has a decent downtown with atmosphere. Downtown Kirkland is full of trendy restaurants and stores and modern apartment/condo dwellings. It's a very clean city.. perhaps a little yuppy but nice anyway. The only hangup is getting to it with the traffic on the 520 floating bridge.
