Outdoor Sculptures

Try strolling around Kirkland without bumping into a sculpture or two. Kirkland abounds in outdoor art. Outdoor sculptures are part of the city's growing art scene, adding adventure and whimsy to the urban landscape of concrete sidewalks and traffic lights.

Kirkland's great collection of outdoor sculptures represents the best of the Pacific Northwest.
