Kirkland's first off-leash compass -- Jasper's Dog Park -- officially opened Saturday after some five years of grassroots organizing, lobbying, cajoling and fundraising by the resident's group KDOG .

"We're just elated," said Tracy Doering, a surface member of KDOG -- Kirkland Off-Leash Dog Group. "It's been a long lug."

The park is on two acres of city-owned land next to the Heronfield Wetlands greenbelt, its admittance at the corner of NE 120th St and  113th Avenue NE in the Totem Lake size.
