[edit] Juanita high school

My recollection is that Kirkland city limits are somewhere south of 132nd Ave. Juanita HS is on 132nd -- I believe on the north side, but I don't remember exactly. It does have a Kirkland mailing address, but that doesn't mean it's actually inside the city (all of Juanita has Kirkland addresses). Absent firm documentation, it should stay off the list.

I go to Juanita and a good number of my classmates live inside the Kirkland city limits. Though the school isn't strictly within the Kirkland boundries it is close enough and has enough Kirkland students to warrant its inclusion. (Rose Hill Jr. High and Finn Hill Jr. High are in the same situation). The fact that it has a Kirkland adress makes me support its inclusion even more.. more people judge cities based on adress than physical city boundries. Waqcku 22:44, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What "fits"

So according to User:Brianhe the web site for a church "does not fit in with other civic/governmental sites here". Funnily enough, I think it fits in with other sites connected to Kirkland which is the subject of the article. I should say that I have no connexion whatsoever with either the town or the church.

Every other link in the list—downtown association, chamber of commerce, etc.—is of general interest to nearly everyone in the community. A link to a particular church does not have this quality. Kirkland has many churches with web sites; how would we decide which ones belong here? Wikipedia policy is that links should provide "neutral and accurate material not already in the article", how does this qualify? External links section should not become a link farm. I think a link to any particular church is clearly inappropriate for this article. Brianhe 04:34, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blue Scholars reference

"The Kirkland Waterfront gives new meaning to a line from "Inkwell", a song by Blue Scholars, which exclaims, "...ain't nothin' better than the Summer in the Northwest..." " the song doesn't really say anything about Kirkland in it's lyrics... opinion? Abcdemily 02:19, 5 March 2007 (UTC)abcdemily

I agree, that is out of place in this article. -- Brianhe 04:38, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

So just delete it then? Abcdemily 02:40, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
