The best time to visit Kirkland is during the summer months, from June to September, when you can fully enjoy the outdoor activities and waterfront.
During this period, the weather is typically warm and sunny, with average temperatures ranging from 20 to 26 degrees Celsius. This makes it ideal for exploring the city's parks, enjoying Lake Washington, and dining outdoors at one of the many waterfront restaurants.
Couples looking for a relaxing getaway will appreciate the long daylight hours, great for sunset strolls along Marina Park or enjoying a boat trip on the lake. The summer also features various outdoor concerts and art festivals, adding to the entertainment options.
Families will find the summer particularly appealing due to the abundance of activities suitable for all ages, such as swimming at Houghton Beach Park, kayaking, or visiting the local farmers' market. The pleasant weather ensures comfortable exploration of the city's attractions without the worry of rain.
While summer is the most popular, spring (April-May) and autumn (October) also offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds, though with a higher chance of rain.
