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!

The Highlands
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.
