The History of Everest: A Legacy of Community and Kirkland Heritage

Everest, Kirkland, WA

The Everest neighborhood, and its centerpiece park, are named in honor of Harold P. "Dick" Everest, a significant local figure whose family roots in Kirkland trace back to 1888. More than just a namesake, the neighborhood played a role in Kirkland's early development as the location of the city's rail station in the early 20th century, serving as a vital transportation link. This rich history contributes to the deep sense of place and community pride evident in Everest today.
