Community Information
Issaquah,
WA Website
Featuring a unique balance of history, high-tech growth and environmental
friendliness, Issaquah is a residential community located at the south
end of Lake Sammamish
approximately 18 miles from downtown Seattle. The city is home to more than
13,000 residents who enjoy a small-town atmosphere, a historic downtown
district, a
strong economy and excellent quality of life. The city's proximity to the greater
Seattle area and easy access via I-90 provide the kinds of cultural and educational
opportunities typically available only in larger urban areas. Issaquah’s
Historic District remains the heart of town, where quaint shops and restaurants
mingle with the early 1900s train depot, now a museum, and the still-bustling
West Farms dairy plant (formerly known as Darigold). The Puget Sound beaches
and numerous lakes provide many recreational opportunities. Snoqualmie Pass is
a 45-minute drive, and the many trails in the foothills have earned Issaquah
the title of " Trailhead City." Issaquah offers lots of activities,
exciting housing areas, great parks, miles of hiking trails, public and private
golf courses, concerts in the park, and theater. Recreation and entertainment
facilities stand ready to help occupy leisure time. Local events include the
Salmon Days Festival and other community happenings. The real estate market
is made up of a diverse range of homes, most built in the 1960s and later with
river,
mountain, lake and golf course views. |
