Tourism

Welcome to Issaquah, Washington!

Issaquah is a perfect place to visit because of its proximity to main amenities. Originally built to serve the mining industry that thrived on two nearby mountains, Issaquah is now a modern thriving city surrounded by parks popular with hikers, a historic downtown, the highly-respected Village Theatre, Cougar Mountain Zoo and the Issaquah Hatchery that helped restore salmon run on Issaquah Creek.

Issaquah, only a short drive from Seattle, is a popular weekend destination for hikers, paragliders, history buffs, and foodies.
