Issaquah
Issaquah is your basecamp for northwest adventure. Close enough to Seattle and Bellevue to take in the bustle of one of the world’s most dynamic metropolitan regions… yet far enough out to be a mere footsteps from the spectacular Cascade mountains.
With top-rated schools, unique tourism amenities, and a bustling businesses scene, Issaquah is known as a place of innovation and excitement, family values, and a strong focus on outdoor recreation and environmental stewardship. A brand new hospital, plans for a future community college campus, and a growing tourism sector, plus serving as the home for a major global corporation, combine to make Issaquah a unique and authentic northwest community.
