North Kirkland Community Center Deck

A New Entrance Deck Built in Two Days While the Center Was Closed

Kolmo Construction, a Seattle-area general contractor, replaced the front entrance deck at the North Kirkland Community Center for the City of Kirkland, on a small works contract with the City's Facilities team. The old 22-foot deck came out complete, and a new 12-by-11-foot platform went in, centered on the entrance and aligned to the sidewalk ramp: new piers, posts and three beam lines, ground-contact joists at 12 inches on center with flashing on the top-facing framing, and a gray non-slip composite surface on stainless-steel hidden fasteners. A permanent wood fall-protection guardrail runs 22 feet 6 inches along the two open sides, and the existing uplighting was put back in service. The deck was built in two days, August 31 and September 1, 2026, while the center was closed, under a City of Kirkland building permit.
