Kirkland's Snow Priority Routes
To help Kirkland residents and drivers to be prepared for the winter weather season, the City encourages you to know its priority routes in the event of snow or ice that requires street maintenance. The City will give first priority for snow plowing on roads that are near Evergreen Hospital and lead to and from I-405, transit routes, schools and fire stations. Second priority will be given to arterials that have above normal traffic use. Steep and hilly public roadways that are difficult to maintain will be closed.

To report hazardous road conditions, flooding or other dangers in the public-right-of-way within Kirkland city limits, call the Public Works Maintenance Center at 425-587-3900 (24-hours) or email publicworks@ci.kirkland.wa.us.
