Kirkland Mayor Joan McBride and City Councilwoman Amy Walen invite Totem Lake Business District companies, interested stakeholders, and citizens to talk about the future of a vital urban center.

In 2010, the city hosted a Totem Lake Symposium where financial, development, and design professionals collaborated with local property and business owners on how to revitalize the Totem Lake Business District. Participants expressed their current and future vision of the area, which were integrated into the Totem Lake Action Plan, adopted by the council in late December 2010.

The conversation about Totem Lake continues with McBride and Walen over lunch from 12-1:30 p.m. May 21, June 25 and July 23 at Café Veloce. For reservations, call the City Manager’s Office at 425-587-3001.

Attendees are responsible for the cost of lunch. For more information about the city’s efforts to revitalize the Totem Lake Business District, visit www.kirklandwa.gov/totemlakeaction or contact Ellen Miller-Wolfe, Economic Development manager, City of Kirkland at 425-587-3014.
