For year-round fresh mountain air in your own backyard: Issaquah Highlands’ 1,500 acres of nationally recognized and permanently preserved parks and open space. Issaquah Highlands neighbors become lifelong friends during hearty hikes, breathtaking runs, and countless hours spent at the tennis and basketball courts found in a myriad of community-designed parks. Harrison Street’s own namesake park was meticulously planned to capture with Bellevue and Seattle skyline views with Olympic Mountain backdrops – scenes shared by many homes in this enclave.
Around the corner or down the street, downtown Issaquah shopping blends charm and convenience. Open-air boardwalks beckon with 40 fashion and home furnishing shops at quaint Gilman Village, while easy-access roads make a bee-line for pantry-stocking necessities at nearby Costco. A bit more chic and much closer to home: High Streets Retail Village in Issaquah Highlands. Girlfriends make dates for the local spa and salon, professionals meet for business at the village coffeehouse, and friends toast each other’s latest success at the neighborhood wine bar.
Sample local harvests with friends at Saturday morning Farmers’ Markets at Pickering Barn, April to October, or catch a blast-from-the-past with an authentic float at XXX Root Beer Drive-In during Saturday classic car “Cruz-Ins.” It’s a fave for the post-game crowd at Issaquah High School – declared one of the country’s top schools by U.S. News & World Report’s prestigious rankings list – and holder of a championship football legacy.
