Summary
The April 10 City of Kirkland podcast reviewed local upcoming events: free CPR courses on May 5 and May 31, a firefighter diversity and recruitment workshop May 10 at Green River College, public safety telecommunicators recognition week April 13–19, blood drives April 20–24 and several community classes and newsletters.
The City of Kirkland’s April 10 podcast presented a set of community notices and public‑safety events. The hosts said the city will hold free CPR classes on May 5 and May 31, and that a diversity and recruitment workshop for aspiring firefighters is scheduled for May 10 at Green River College. The podcast described the firefighter workshop as open to ages 16 and up and aimed at people from underrepresented communities; no application requirements beyond age and interest were given on the show.
Other events and notices mentioned on the podcast included:
- Public safety telecommunicators recognition week, April 13–19. The hosts urged listeners to thank 9‑1‑1 dispatchers for their role in emergency response. - Distracted driving awareness for April, reminding drivers to avoid phone use behind the wheel. - City blood drives scheduled April 20 and April 24, run with Bloodworks Northwest; the podcast noted donors could enter a prize drawing. - Natural Yard Care 101 on April 12 at City Hall and other Earth Month events, plus a reminder to sign up for the city’s environmental newsletters "Kirkland Conserves" and the Green Kirkland Partnership newsletter.
The podcast framed these items as community outreach and public safety promotion. It did not include formal council votes or staff directives; the segments were announcements and invitations to attend workshops, sign up for classes or follow department social media channels.
