Kirkland Mayor Joan McBride recently attended a ribbon-cutting event to welcome Synergy Wellness Center to downtown Kirkland.

The business, which is located at 515 Kirkland Way, boasts the first group acupuncture room on the Eastside. The room was created to help support those in the community in need of the service, but are unable to attend because their insurance won’t cover it.
