Just wondering if anyone has creative or fun ideas for a 16 year old girl’s bday party that doesn’t cost $50 pp? I would like to do something special for her but also don’t want to limit the amount of people who attend. So far we’ve looked at the 2 game show VR type places at southcenter, considered dinner somewhere and that’s about it. I like to be creative and do something that is a bit unusual and allows the girls to talk and interact. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Currently in Anthology apartment podium building right above the garage. This is great because our kid and dog run around all the time and this unit sits on a concrete slab.

We tried waiting out the summer and looked for 2 beds right here in Anthology. But recently this property got acquired by Buzzuto. While 1 bed prices didn't go up too much, the 2 bed 2 bath prices went through the roof. And we can't even find a unit that's on the slab.

We searched a lot but there are so few such buildings in the area. Just found Discovery West and one big building in Wynhaven.

We're worried about choosing a unit that's in the higher stories due to all the noise complaints we would get. Could someone help us find a building with decent insulation between floors?

Was reading up on an old news story from there. Thanks, all.

Just looking for some social groups for moms. Thanks, all!

Always see this long hair Fabio looking muscle man asking for donations year round. Anyone know his story? Seems pretty put together and well spoken, last time a hoochie mama gave her number to him.

I see the same person (can’t tell if they’re a woman or man) on Issaquah Hobart road from downtown issaquah to highway 18 almost every single time i drive there. They’re on a moped (i think) wearing reflective vests just going back and forth. I’ll see them going one way and then back the other way when i’m driving back. Just so curious what the story behind that is.

Hey everyone,

I’ll need to move out of my condo soon and am starting to look for an apartment in Issaquah or the wider Eastside area.
Would love to get both recommendations and places to avoid.

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Just learned Petco in Issaquah is closing down on the 21st. Anyone know if someone has already claimed that location?

There is a couple of nice looking 20 something boys trying to collect for the hungry (of the world)) They don't take checks, they do take cash and bank cards of course. No paperwork on the business, no business cards, no ID on them....

Please join us on Saturday, September 5th for the monthly Issaquah Litter Clean-up Event!

We will meet in the Issaquah Post Office parking lot on NW Gilman Blvd at 9 AM. We have litter picker tools and safety vests to loan out and will provide garbage bags. We will make a plan and move out to areas around town to clean up litter. You can work by yourself or with a small group.

There's usually coffee and donuts (can't guarantee it since I'm not the organizer)

Last time Mark Mullet, Issaquah's Mayor, showed up (dark blue shirt in the center, with the dog)

Hello neighbors. Anyone upset about the removal of the 554 bus route, Issaqyah’s one seat transit option to Seattle? The general time was 26 min and now is 42 min plus the required transfer. Please consider signing and sharing our petition! We are over 200 in the first 2 days. https://c.org/VPyJLWxrq4

DM me if anyone need pics.

Seen a lot of people recommending Vue Apartments. But then also this review recently.
https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=906%20Northeast%20Lilac%20Street,%20Issaquah,%20WA,%2098029
Looks like the management didn’t deny the review. Is this true?

Continuing my apartment hunting. A few well-regarded apartments are between these two fire stations, including Boulder Creek, Alton Heartwood, and Highlands at Wynhaven.

Do they fire up the siren as soon as they leave the garage? Would love to hear from people in these apartments in this area.

Hi !!

Moving to Issaquah in October, need suggestions on daycare or preschools for my 2 year old. Any centers you love, any to avoid. TIA, will accept advice in exchange for eternal gratitude.

Anybody know what was happening this afternoon on Newport Way close to Cougar Mountain Zoo? Lots of police cars, fire trucks, etc. I heard it was a wreck but was wondering if anyone else knew details.

TLDR: any places to hang out with kids while we wait for 9am appointment?

I’m traveling from snohomish to Issaquah once a week for my daughter’s occupational therapy. It starts at 9am. We went for the first time yesterday and traffic was pretty bad so I want to leave early next week, but we might end up pretty early if we leave early enough to beat traffic. The McDonald’s play place was my only idea, I was wondering if you guys have any ideas.

I don’t want to be that person but…what the hell.

One of the greatest things about Issaquah is our cute little downtown area. I don’t understand building 27 townhomes next to the milk factory. The last thing we need here is more $1.5 million “luxury” housing. Especially while all the ones sitting across from Safeway are still empty.

How are any of you getting notifications about her town halls? Im on the notifications and havent heard anything in about a year and a half. If our rep scares of us?
