Masonry Institute of Washington Sip & Learn 

A case study:  City of Kirkland, WA

Every designer would like their building to be the cornerstone of a community.  A positive statement on
both the community and the designer. 

Please join us as we sip wine, eat cheese and discuss the elements of how local communities are
utilizing products in their planning for the future.  Both the good and the bad by taking a look and beginning the discussion of the advantages and challenges of community design and the role masonry products are playing in
the future.  

We take an in-depth look at the Kirkland community design during the last 25 years. 

Learning Objectives:
