WELCOME TO Market
Arguably Kirkland's most iconic neighborhood, Market has been from the very beginning. In fact, the Market Neighborhood was home to Peter Kirk, the founder of Kirkland! Driving along Waverly Way transports you back to a time that was perhaps a tick slower than the hustle and bustle of today. The Market neighborhood has stood the test of time and seen tremendous change over the years. Iconic homes, parks and views for days continue to make Market one of Kirkland's most desirable neighborhoods in the area.
“Waverly Beach Park was the go-to park when I was in elementary and middle school. Fast forward 30 years and it was my favorite park to take my kids when they were young. Waverly has a great swing set, enclosed swimming area, nice grassy area for laying out beach towels and picnic blankets. Now, there’s even more reason to gather with the addition of the new cabana. Sunsets are amazing from this park. ”
