As the annexation of the Finn Hill, North Juanita and Kingsgate neighborhood areas into the City of Kirkland approaches, annexation area residents and businesses are encouraged to tap into city information available online at www.ci.kirkland.wa.us/annexation, through e-mail and by participating in city meetings. Current annexation planning efforts include defining neighborhood boundaries, budgeting for service levels when annexation takes effect, and negotiating with King County.
