About the Moss Bay Neighborhood Association

Kirkland is divided into 13 Neighborhood Associations. The purpose of the Associations are to create a sense of community and to function as links to the city government.

​The Moss Bay Neighborhood Association communicates with residents through in-person meetings, this website, and email updates. Communications to the Association include information from Kirkland City Council, staff and regional government, and news about business and other topics that impact our quality of life.

​​In turn, the Neighborhood Association is a means of communicating preferences, requests and concerns to the City Council and staff. This communication occurs when City staff attends our in-person meetings, through City programs and online.

​City funding is available to the Moss Bay Neighborhood through the Neighborhood Safety Program and grants. You are encouraged to participate in in Moss Bay meetings and communications so that you have a voice in how these funds are spent.

We meet the 2nd Monday of odd months, but take the month of July off.

Alex Chen, Member at Large

​My name is Alex Chen and after living in Seattle for many years my family and I moved into the neighborhood last year and just love it here.   Originally from Canada, I have had the pleasure of living in a dozen different cities from NYC  to Mountain View, CA.  Even though my office is just in Downtown Kirkland, I am learning there is so much to the neighborhood I have yet to explore and want to contribute to help keep our community dynamic, safe and inclusive for everyone.  Professionally, my expertise is in market research and data analysis and hope to better connect with Kirkland and our community.
