Three Kirkland Starting Points

Downtown and the waterfront

Downtown Kirkland sits on Lake Washington around Marina Park, which hosts the city’s July 4th celebration and summer concert series, with restaurants and shops a short walk away. Kirkland Urban, beside Peter Kirk Park, extends downtown with shops, restaurants, offices and a public plaza. On Kirkland Avenue you will find The Heathman Kirkland, a 91-room hotel, and the Kirkland Performance Center, a 394-seat theater for music, dance, theater, film and lectures.

Carillon Point

About a mile and a half south along the lake, Carillon Point is home to The Woodmark Hotel & Still Spa, a waterfront hotel whose event spaces host weddings with Lake Washington as the backdrop.

Totem Lake

Kirkland’s north end centers on The Village at Totem Lake, an open-air mix of shops, restaurants and a Cinemark theater. It sits beside I-405 at NE 128th Street, where the freeway’s express toll lanes have a direct-access ramp. From here, I-405 is the first road for almost every trip.

Routes and Timing from Kirkland

For SEA, it is I-405 south nearly the whole way, through Bellevue and Renton to Tukwila, then SR 518 into the airport. That is about 22–24 miles and typically 30–45 minutes outside peak hours, a few minutes longer from Totem Lake than from downtown. Every SEA airport pickup includes flight tracking, so an early or delayed arrival moves the pickup time with it.

For downtown Seattle, trips from downtown Kirkland usually cross on SR 520 and its tolled floating bridge: about 11 miles, typically 20–35 minutes outside peak hours. From Totem Lake it is closer to 16 miles, with more of it on I-405 first. The untolled alternative is I-405 south to I-90 across Mercer Island. These ranges are mapping estimates checked against WSDOT’s travel-time data, and traffic varies.

What to know about I-405

Between Bellevue and Lynnwood, I-405 has express toll lanes that operate 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays. Their tolls adjust every few minutes with traffic, and the lanes are free on weekends and overnight. South of Bellevue, WSDOT is building express toll lanes from Bellevue to Renton, with lane reductions and closures during construction and an opening forecast for summer 2027. For early flights and weekday trips south, leave extra room.

Weddings, Show Nights and Game Days

For a wedding at The Woodmark, the stretch limousine seats up to 10 for the wedding party. If guests are staying downtown or in Bellevue, the Executive Sprinter van (12) or the party bus (30) can bring them to Carillon Point and take them back after the reception. A smaller option downtown is the city’s Heritage Hall and Centennial Gardens, rented for ceremonies and receptions: up to 70 guests inside, or 125 from May through September using the gardens too. Our wedding limo service gives you one point of contact for the whole day.

For dinner downtown and a show at the Kirkland Performance Center, hourly chauffeur service keeps a car and chauffeur with you for the evening, with no fixed itinerary. The executive sedan suits a couple; a stretch limousine suits a group celebrating.

For Lumen Field, T-Mobile Park or Climate Pledge Arena, the SUV limousine carries up to 14, with curb pickup and drop-off at all three. Rates depend on the vehicle, date and hours; see rates and FAQ.

FAQ

Kirkland Questions

How long is the drive from Kirkland to SEA?

Typically 30–45 minutes outside peak hours, all on I-405 and SR 518. Weekday rush hours and the Bellevue-to-Renton construction on I-405 can add a good deal, so include your flight time when you request the ride.

Do you pick up at Carillon Point and Totem Lake?

Yes. Kirkland is one of our regular Eastside routes, from Carillon Point and the downtown waterfront to Totem Lake and Juanita.

Which way do you go from Kirkland to downtown Seattle?

From downtown Kirkland, SR 520 is the short way; its bridge is tolled in both directions. I-405 south to I-90 avoids the toll but adds distance. Chauffeurs plan around the traffic on the day.

Can we keep the car for dinner and a show?

Yes. Book by the hour and the vehicle and chauffeur stay with you for the time booked, wherever the evening goes.
