We are from out of state and occasionally visit Kirkland. We parked in the Juanita Beach parking lot last Friday evening for dinner, which we have used before without paying to park. Much to our surprise and chagrin, we returned to find that we had a $35 parking ticket. We don’t object to paying to park, if we are adequately advised that there is a parking fee. We entered from the south at dusk and saw nothing obvious to indicate there was a parking fee. We have spent a fair amount in Kirkland for hotels, meals, groceries, fuel, etc. Is this the way your city wants to treat its visitors?  We think not.
