Salmon spawning stays in the spotlight
Issaquah State Salmon Hatchery has been an important part of Issaquah's economy and serves as one of its claims to fame as the oldest working fish hatchery in the state. Educational exhibits, an aquarium room, a viewing bridge and programs like STEM summer camps keep salmon in the spotlight.
"Most fish hatcheries are located in very rural areas," says Christy Garrard, executive director of Visit Issaquah. "It's just happenstance that as Issaquah was forming, this hatchery was started and downtown built around that."
The spawning celebration Salmon Days has been held in Issaquah for over 50 years. More than 100,000 people attend to see adult salmon returning to their birthplace. "The salmon are freshwater born and transition to saltwater. At the end of their adult life, they return to freshwater," Garrard says.
Academic excellence in Issaquah School District
Public schools include Issaquah Valley Elementary, graded A-minus by Niche; Issaquah Middle, grade A; and Issaquah High, A-plus.

"This speaks to high rigor and high-performing students," says Lesha Engels, Issaquah School District's executive director of communications and digital strategy.
Many students live within walking distance of their school and Olde Town. When the school day is up, there are things to do nearby. "There's a community center where some students might go for activities after school," Engels says. The high school's comprehensive internship program is a plus for students who want to explore their interests and potential careers. Engels says all-day internships take up part of the week.
