Kirkland residents should get past ‘us’ versus ‘them’ | LETTER

I’m a recent enthusiastic “immigrant to Kirkland” and am sorry to see the complaints about fixing roads in a recent letter.

It’s impossible to tell who and in what proportion drove over what road and how much wear and tear that may have caused. Those of us recently annexed probably contributed to the problem.

But the main point is that the residents of Kirkland-before-annexation will help pay for repairs, improvements, and services we need. The sooner we get past any us versus them, from either direction, the better.
