Kirkland is offering a second chance for residents to apply for advisory boards and commissions. The city has extended the deadline until Friday for those interested in joining these important groups that help shape city policy.

To make it easier to apply, the City of Kirkland is offering childcare stipends for members. Interested individuals must submit their application to the City Clerk's Office by 4 p.m. on the extended deadline. Applicants can visit the Current Recruitment Positions page or call 425-587-3190 for more information about eligibility requirements.

Most positions are filled through City Council appointments, with the exception of the Civil Service Commission, which is filled by the City Manager. Interviews for candidates will be held on March 13, offering an opportunity for applicants to directly present their ideas to the City Council.

These boards and commissions provide a platform for the community to address local issues and influence decisions that affect the city. More details about the extension and the role of these advisory bodies can be found in the City of Kirkland’s official announcement.
