r/Kirkland

Hi! Just moved here from the Midwest - was wondering if there are any vets / places that offer dental cleaning for dogs for $500 or around that? Most quotes I'm getting are $1k+

I have a 7 year old maltese and also need the bordetella vaccine (perferably under $30)

Seriously, 5-10 MPH under the speed limit no matter the time of day. I’m so over it. Ya’ll drive me nuts.

Hello my fellow neighbors. I was wondering if anyone knows somewhere in kirkland to get a mint plant. My daughter has expressed interest in making her own mint tea and has asked for a mint plant. Whilst I am aware it is a bit late in the season for one, I was hoping someone might work somewhere they might still be available for purchase.

My son was at the O.O. Denny and witnessed the yelling coming from the occupant of the truck. He called it into the police. It took awhile to convince the operator that this was not normal behavior. He had my grandson with him so felt it was best to leave the park. A Sargent called him back and said that they have been trying to zero in on him.

Hi all – first-time mom-to-be, and trying to decide on childbirth preparation classes through EvergreenHealth in Kirkland. They offer:

• Weekend course: 2 days, 12 hours total, $300 for both partners
• One-day course: 1 day, 6 hours total, $200 for both partners

Has anyone taken either one? Curious whether the extra 6 hours in the weekend version actually covers meaningfully more (like more hands-on practice, more time on pain management/comfort techniques, etc.), or if the one-day condensed version covers the essential information just fine.

Also open to hearing if you found the class worth it at all as a first-time parent, versus just relying on books/podcasts/your OB or midwife team. Would love to hear how it went and which one you'd pick again if you had to do it over!

Thanks!

Does anyone have any women doc recommendations in the Kirkland area? My awesome doctor of about 15 years just retired and the clinic (Optum) seems like a bit of a shitshow. They have since bounced me to 1) a new doctor, who left before I even had my 1st transfer appt, and now to 2) a different new doctor, who has some pretty negative reviews but is the only woman doc left who is accepting patients. I have a transfer appt scheduled with #2, but wondering if there are any other good options around just in case.

In addition to the high turnover, or maybe because of it, a prescription that needed to be refilled a week ago has just sat there with no ETA, despite it being flagged as "high priority." (Thankfully its just Ambien but a red flag if more urgent meds are ever needed.)

I generally just go in once a year for a wellness exam/med check. My previous doc was a PA, so I'm good with any level really. Lady doc is a requirement, organized clinic is a plus.

I see previous similar posts haven't had much luck but there is always hope... Any recommendations are very appreciated.

I have an appointment scheduled with Dr.Roberta H.de Regt? I don’t see much reviews about her in recent times and could not get appointment with dr.Saoud.

I work for a summer camp that is mostly Russian speaking kids. Sometimes our camp occurs within the O.O Denny/ Finn hill area. Recently I’ve been noticing this white truck with almost completely blackout window tint with a windshield cover sitting in the O.O. Denny parking lot most mornings that we have our camp there. I usually wouldn’t care about such a thing since there’s cars I usually see every morning there. But every time our camp circles up to start the truck starts blasting audio talking about the Russian Ukraine war. Which is concerning for us since some of these kids fled Russia and Ukraine with family to avoid the war.

Does anyone know about this truck or seen it as well? I just want to make sure that the kids and I are safe. Since I just find it extremely odd that it does it every time.

I have never seen such little traffic on a friday to and from work, the parking lots are empty, just wondering where tf everyone is!!??? Big game in seattle or zombie apocalypse??

Delivering at EvergreenHealth Family Maternity Center (Kirkland) soon and trying to plan for costs.

We have insurance but high deductible, so expecting a large hospital + OB + anesthesia bill. For anyone who delivered at Evergreen recently:

• Did you get a prompt-pay discount for paying in full? How much %?
• Did you apply for financial assistance/charity care? Was it based on income even with insurance?
• Any luck negotiating the facility charge or getting an itemized bill lowered?

Thanks!

Thought I'd share some good news around here. Avrum (Alex) Tsimerman is an antisemitic bully who harasses many of our elected officials. Tsimerman's hatefests have inspired Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) complaints and now Tsimerman is out for another year. Yes, Tsimerman already got a 1-year exclusion in August 2024 CE (Current Era). Below is Tsimerman getting excluded again for a year in August of this year 2026 CE.

Sound Transit Boardmember Angela Birney gets a 1-year Exclusion on Alex Tsimerman at Sound Transit

I made this video to show people that yes, we can make Sound Transit like u/redmond! I'm sure some appreciate the hope and positive energy this video is intended to give the Middle Eastside.

I remember before I lived in Kirkland I would go with my friends to the Oktoberfest and watch the wiener dog races, dance to some live music, play some pong, and dance under the gazebo after having a few festbier and have a great time in the Kirkland community. I know it hasn't happened for 2 years but I wish they still did it. Anyone know what happened to the event? Anyone else still wish it was around?

If you were there you know what I mean… loud bang is an understatement.

My car has been broken into near Central Way twice now in the last month be careful people. And if anyone has any info please let me know it’s always been between 10pm and 4 am

Hello,

What bakeries sell the best cake you’ve ever had?

Is it just my imagination, or are the spider webs coming early this year. August just feels too early.
