Whether you work in the nearby urban centers or just want to pop into the city every once in a while, Issaquah’s position along I-90 puts it just 30 minutes from downtown Seattle. Folks renting in Issaquah enjoy the stunning natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, including gorgeous views of the Cascade Mountains, right in their own backyard.
Several large wildlife areas are easily accessible from Issaquah, particularly Tiger Mountain State Forest to the southeast and Cougar Mountain to the west. The Cougar Mountain Zoo is a popular attraction, home of the only Bengal tigers in the state of Washington.
In town, the famous Gilman Village district is home to many independent shops and restaurants, and is well known around the Puget Sound area. Salmon plays an important role in the local culture, and the annual Salmon Days festival draws hundreds of thousands of people every October.
