A Little History

Peter Kirk, a steel tycoon from England, settled in the Northwest in 1886. His dream was to create a steel town by Lake Washington. Together with his prominent Seattle business partners he built the Moss Bay Iron and Steel Works mill in 1892. The next spring a stock market crash caused a financial panic that swept the nation and the mill closed without ever producing any steel. Kirk never did see his dreams of a “Pittsburgh of the West” coming to fruition, and he later retired to the San Juan Islands. The City of Kirkland rebounded from the financial trouble though and went into the business of wool mining making wool products for Gold Rush prospectors headed to Alaska and the U.S. Military in World War I. Kirkland also became popular for ship building constructing ferries on Lake Washington and later warships for the U.S. Navy.

Below are the restaurants that we recommend and list in Kirkland, Washington.
