This Week in Kirkland hosts used the Feb. 19 episode to promote several jobs, volunteer opportunities and family events across the city.
Jim Lopez and David Wahlberg described a temporary associate project engineer role funded through the end of the year and encouraged listeners to check kirklandwa.gov/jobs for details and benefits such as city-paid medical, dental and vision coverage.
The hosts celebrated an adopt-a-highway volunteer group that has removed more than 2,100 bags of litter in the past five years and invited residents to join Green Kirkland Stewards; spring orientations for Habitat/Green Kirkland Steward volunteers are being offered in three free sessions next month.
Kirkland Teen Union Building (K-Tub) will expand teen drop-in hours to Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6–8 p.m., and an indoor playground for children ages 9 months to 5 years will be open 10 a.m.–1 p.m. on the same days; admission for the indoor playground was stated as $4 per child per visit and adults are asked to supervise.
Upcoming community events listed on the podcast include a ribbon cutting for the Juanita Beach Dog Park on Feb. 20 from noon–1 p.m., a Conversations with Council event at Kingsgate Library on Feb. 21 from 11 a.m.–1 p.m. (no agenda, bring your own topic), a virtual recycling center tour on Feb. 27 from 12–1 p.m., and a Lunar New Year celebration on Feb. 28 from 2–4 p.m. at the Peter Kirk Community Center.
The hosts also promoted civic participation opportunities: the free, eight-week Kirkland initiative leadership program (three hours per week), boards and commission appointments, and Community Appreciation Night on May 7.
