Some legacies are written. Others are sculpted. ✨
We are thrilled to invite Kirkland to the unveiling of Windward: a breathtaking new work by local artist Troy Pillow, set at the water's edge in David E. Brink Park. Crafted in sweeping metal and glass, this stunning piece is more than public art — it's a permanent tribute to our founders and supporters whose belief in Kirkland made everything we do possible.
Because the most beautiful things a community builds are rooted in the generosity of the people who showed up first. Join us at 5:30 today, May 27th, at Brink Park, or stroll the waterfront and enjoy Windward this weekend!

They went first. And because they did, Kirkland is a richer, more vibrant, more connected community today. 💙
In 2014, a small circle of visionaries launched what would become the Kirkland Community Foundation, driven by a simple belief that neighbors, working together, could make something extraordinary happen. From parks to public art, from cultural festivals to community connections, their early generosity set everything in motion.
We are so proud to honor our founders, and we can't wait to show you how. ✨ Join us!
