| Small-town ambiance seems to make a permanent home in Issaquah, a city with turn-of-the-century origins. At the south end of Lake Sammamish, 16 miles east of Seattle, Issaquah is rich in Northwest heritage and natural beauty. Issaquah residents enjoy great restaurants, live theater, wineries, a Saturday public market, a historic depot and a chocolate factory. Visitors come to explore the Issaquah Alps, a zoological park and a salmon hatchery. Lake Sammamish State Park is a major recreational area. Cougar, Tiger and Squak mountains attract hikers and nature observers.
The Village Theatre and Gilman Village shopping center are popular with residents and visitors. Pickering Place, across 1-90 from downtown, offers modern shopping conveniences. Many upscale neighborhoods have been built in the hills surrounding the city, making Issaquah a popular place to live.
