The Kirkland City Council is considering a proposed resolution that would allow them to move forward with their plans for a new fire station without having to sell off Station 25, as stipulated under their interlocal agreement (ILA) with King County Fire District 41.

The resolution clarifies what the city considers to be the original intent of the ILA in order to rectify their new plan for improving fire service with certain stipulations in the ILA between the city and the district following the 2011 annexation of Finn Hill, Juanita and Kingsgate.

The council will hold a public hearing on the issue during their Oct. 6 meeting before taking a vote.
