Looks to me like you have it all.  Charm of the small town and if you want excitement or the theatre etc you have a short ride to Seattle.

My wife and I love to visit Kirkland. It is fun, interesting and hip plus we have family there. We frequently visit the city for a long weekend when we want to get away.  Your post and pictures describe it to a "T".
