Its origins can be labeled as possessing a quiet, small-town Americana
ambience. And fortunately, the community has been able to maintain that feeling. Only 16 miles from
Seattle, Issaquah has easy access to Bellevue and the Cascade Mountains. Contrasts include the
shopping experience of Gilman Village and the nature-oriented Salmon Days, featuring an in-town salmon
hatchery. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy nearby hiking in the Issaquah "alps". Families appreciate
the expansive Lake Sammamish State Park. |
