So true...We loved it there and we were so sorry to leave to god awful NJ!!! Whatever your age or direction of your career goals it's truly a great place to live...I'd love to go back!!!

We visit often because of family there, but we hope to retire up there--at least for the summers. The location can't be beat, the scenery is spectacular, along with Seattle and the sound so close. With ferries to various islands in the sound, and to Victoria,B.C. so close, it adds yet another dimention to the already abundant activity one can enjoy. All the conveniences are there, but as word gets out, traffic may put a damper on it, so we hope that city fathers will keep on top of it. It's also relatively affordable living, especially compared to California!

Wrapped in the arms of the Cascade Foothills, Issaquah is as varied as those who live here. Hiking the Issaquah Alps, 2 Theatres, Music on the streets, ArtWalks in the summer, swimming at the lake, Paragliding from mountain tops, a Salmon Hatchery in downtown, a glass blowing school, nationally awarded Brewhouse beer, biking the valley floor or mountain roads, Vintage Carshows, exceptional schools, mini hydroplanes, and a community of warmth. 30 minutes to Skiing and snowboarding at the mountain pass or Urban Seattle and Puget Sound.

It's a great place to live and work....We've considered moving to other towns/states, but have yet to find a better place. You just can't beat it!

I was just going to say "shhh", but now that you beat me to it, I will say that yes, you CAN walk to Seattle from here. There's a bike trail that goes right across the I90 bridge and you can walk it or ride it. That's if you really wanted to leave Issaquah! I'm grateful to both live and work right here. It's a great place to work, live, play, and retire.
