Lend a Hand Decorating Downtown!

It's that time of year again, time for decorating downtown Kirkland for the holidays, the annual effort by volunteers and the Kirkland Downtown Association. We need about 130 people on Saturday to put up wreaths and banners and other decorations.

This year should prove to be the most impressive we have ever had. I can't begin to tell you how many hours David DeBois at Banner Bank has put in. Everything is going to be so fabulous for our little ones and our shoppers!
