The annual Seafair Marathon June 29 will pass through much of Kirkland this year, with the race making a loop from the east side of the city down through the Highlands, Norkirk and Market neighborhoods and on down Market Street and Lake Washington Boulevard before heading into Bellevue.

Lengths of many Kirkland roads will close from 8-11 a.m. on race day, with police helping residents get in and out of driveways and side streets. The roads will re-open after the last racer has passed.

Race organizers have said they will donate $200 dollars to Kirkland neighborhood associations (through which the race passes) that provide 15 or more volunteers. Contact your neighborhood association for more information.
