Reply to comment by yeswithaz in Kirkland chef restores stream to make it habitable for salmon and sees 'amazing' results by EveFluff

Kirkland used to be such a nice suburb of seattle, too. Now it's just wildly overpriced housing and some of the worst traffic in the country wah wah. Seriously, don't ever find yourself on the 405 near kirkland anytime during daylight hours.

It's still nice. 405 is only a minor inconvenience, it sucks more if you're in Bothell or even further out. Traffic on surface streets hasn't returned to pre-pandemic levels. Best part is all the lakefront parks! And an awesome restaurant like Cafe Juanita doesn't hurt.

Yeah, I used to live in Kenmore off of Juanita and I love Kirkland, especially Juanita Beach Park and Juanita Bay Park. We're planning to move back soon and Kirkland-area is our target.

Misread that as “it sucks more if you’re in Brothel” and thought, “wow, maybe the joke about naming the town after your favorite store isn’t so far off.”

As someone who sat on that god forsaken parking lot every day for 8 years, I should cut you with a box knife.

I have literal PTSD. I keep piss bottles in my car in case I randomly wind up stuck on a freeway for 3 extra hours for absolutely no reason.

I live in Seattle and I can’t remember the last time I was in Kirkland. Maybe never?

Costco corporate is in Issaquah, not Kirkland.

I don’t, but it’s now in Issaquah, another town that’s gotten way too ritzy.

Uh oh “the 405”? That’s the spy right over there, officer. 😉
