Issaquah, Mountain valley city in King County, US
The city extends across 11.40 square miles within the Mountains to Sound Greenway, surrounded by Cougar Mountain, Squak Mountain, and Tiger Mountain ranges.
Incorporated in 1892, Issaquah transformed from a mining settlement into a lumber industry center, supplying timber to Seattle and neighboring communities.
The annual Salmon Days Festival in October draws thousands of visitors to observe the natural migration of salmon through the municipal hatchery.
King County Metro and Sound Transit provide regular public transportation services, connecting Issaquah to Seattle through Interstate 90.
The name Issaquah originates from Southern Lushootseed language /sqʷáxʷ/, meaning either the sound of birds, snake, or little stream.
