THE SLIP

HISTORY

In the early 1900s, ferries ran continuously from Marina Park’s city dock to Seattle 18 hours a day, making Kirkland the transportation heartbeat of the Eastside — until the opening of the Lake Washington Floating Bridge in 1940. It was into this storied landscape that The Slip was born. Slinging fresh, creative burgers since 1996, The Slip quickly earned its place as a local institution — anchoring the end of Kirkland Avenue right where it meets Marina Park and the public docks.
