Congratulations to Jim Lauinger, pictured left, for being voted in by our city council to serve his second  2 year term as Kirkland's mayor.   Joan McBride will again be serving as Deputy Mayor.  We're keeping on the cruise control this year actually- the people have also re-elected  Bob Sternoff  (un-opposed) and Dave Asher (un-opposed) and Jessica Greenway (beat out Penny Sweet by a hair) to our city council.   Thanks to all of you for your time and dedication to the city of Kirkland! ~j
