The City of Kirkland is now accepting proposals for operators for the Kirkland Teen Union Building (KTUB). Proposals will be accepted until Friday, September 30, 2022, at 5 p.m.

The City desires to operate the KTUB building as a model teen center, offering comprehensive youth programming for youth in sixth to twelfth grade with expanded service levels.  Goals of the teen center include providing a safe place for teens and facilitating positive social interactions. Types of programs and services offered at the teen center may include recreation and physical activity, art, music, life skills, job and academic support, behavioral health services, drug and violence prevention, and connection to other support services available in the community.

Interested groups and organizations are invited to tour the Kirkland Teen Union Building on Friday, August 12, 2022, at 8 a.m. or Wednesday, August 24, 2022, at 4:30 p.m.  Both tours will be the same format.  Questions related to this request for proposals asked during the tours will be documented and published on the City’s website.

City Council will evaluate the finalist’s proposal alongside the City’s proposal to operate KTUB.
