Gardening

Hosted by Cascade Gardener, these classes are online and free. The gardening classes aim to help you have beautiful, healthy landscapes maintained and built in a sustainable way, including using water efficiently and gardening with native plants.

Safer Cleaning

Identify products that are considered hazardous and find out how to properly dispose of them in Issaquah. 

Explore online resources to guide future purchasing choices. Get instructions to make your own safer products at home with common household items.

Where Does it Go?

Learn what happens to materials after they leave our homes. Find out how to manage unusual items in Issaquah and which items belong in recycling, composting or garbage collection at home.
