Issaquah Today

Welcome to Issaquah

Issaquah, named Best Burb by Sunset, one of the Best Towns for Families by Family Circle and one of the Best Towns by Outside, is a great place for residents and visitors alike.

Our community of more than 40,000 is conveniently located off the Interstate 90 corridor, just 16 miles east of Seattle.

Issaquah — nicknamed Trailhead City — is centered within the Issaquah Alps (Cougar, Squak and Tiger mountains). It's a destination for countless outdoor enthusiasts, including hikers and paragliders.

In town, Issaquah features a Saturday farmers market, a nationally-recognized theater and a seasonal ArtWalk.

In addition, the historic salmon hatchery and Cougar Mountain Zoological Park attract regional visitors.
