Kirkland is seeking community feedback on proposed code amendments to allow home-based businesses and small-scale neighborhood stores in residential areas. The City of Kirkland is exploring updates to regulations for home-based businesses and new allowances for small-scale neighborhood businesses in residential neighborhoods. The changes aim to make it easier for local entrepreneurs to start and grow businesses, support walkable neighborhoods, and expand access to everyday goods and services. The online survey, open until Sept. 18, 2026, asks residents to share ideas on business types, hours of operation, location requirements, and more. City staff will review responses to inform code amendment decisions.
