Issaquah Reviews

All Categories
Living in Issaquah is like living in a little green corner of the Pacific Northwest. You have the beauty of the Cascade Mountain range to wake up to every morning, and a view of the Puget Sound on a clear day. The local culture of the city feels safe, welcoming, and family-oriented. There are lots of little "hole in the wall" restaurants and bars to enjoy, but there are also parks and trails surrounding you at any moment. If you're looking for a city that has beautiful views, good food, and safe environment, Issaquah is your safest bet!

Issaquah is a nice, quiet area with great schools, neighborhood and people. We have a Microsoft campus that provides lots of jobs to the community, directly and indirectly. I moved here a year ago and really enjoy it. I have access to quality schools, restaurants, doctors, and parks. It's probably the best community I've ever lived in!
I love Issaquah how close Issaquah is to Seattle. I have lived in Washington a majority of my life and it feels like home here, even though the rain and gloominess can get depressing! Issaquah has a great indoor locations to make up for that; I go to the Y with my mom 3 days a week.
