The City of Kirkland Public Works Department and Marilyn Dillard, owner of the downtown property that housed the Antique Mall for more than 20 years, have agreed on a plan that adds more than 90 public parking spaces to downtown Kirkland.

Around the first week of March, spaces will be available at $1 per hour, Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and free beyond the paid hours. The property located at 113 Third Street and is named the “Park and Main Lot” as the entrance is at the corner of Main Street and Park Lane. Two pay stations will be available on site and will accept pre-payment if prior to 9 a.m.

The agreement helps to mitigate the loss of parking along Park Lane and Central Way due to the transit center construction. The new spaces increase the city’s inventory of public parking to 1200 stalls in the downtown area. Preparations at the former Antique Mall site are currently underway including striping and the installation of signs.
