Downtown with Main Street atmosphere
Issaquah’s Olde Town neighborhood provides a vibrant Main Street environment that keeps to the city’s historic roots. “There are city policies that protect the architectural feel of downtown,” says Christy Garrard, Executive Director of Visit Issaquah and city resident. Olde Town’s Front Street is where all the action happens, with locals and tourists spending time in the mom-and-pop shops. Front Street also carries a rural and small-town feel, with landmarks like the Shell Gas Station embodying early 19th-century architecture. Residents here will also get an active lifestyle, whether attending several events and performances, visiting the Issaquah Alps, or taking part in water activities.
Shop and dine on Front Sreet and Sunset Way
Front Street and Sunset Way holds all things shopping and dining. “Issaquah is a very diverse community culturally, and our dining options reflect that,” Garrard says. Tiger Mountain Coffee matches Issaquah’s quirky vibe, serving espresso beverages via a walk-up window and drive-thru. Sip Thai Zoom provides flavorful Thai entrees in a smaller, laid-back dining room. Montalcino Ristorante Italiano gives an intimate and upscale dining experience, serving signature wines and fresh Italian dishes. Nightlife on Front Street can involve sipping wine in the cozy Vino Bella or singing karaoke at Rollin Log Tavern. Weekly groceries can be bought at Safeway or Trader Joe’s on Northwest Gilman Boulevard. That road also includes an array of boutiques and big box stores like Target.
The Issaquah Coffee Company serves up locally roasted coffee and cozy atmoshphere for Olde Town.
Locals businesses take part in the annual Issaquah Salmon Days that takes place in Olde Town.

Salmon Day Festival draw thousands
Olde Town draws a lot of locals and tourists in general, but one of the most significant events is the Salmon Day Festival. Over 100,000 people head to Issaquah State Salmon Hatchery to see the now-adult salmon swim to the hatchery where they were born. “Millions of millions of salmon come up the stream, and they come in contact with the hatchery,” Garrard says. Meanwhile, on Front Street, visitors explore the hundreds of artisan and food vendors while kids enjoy themselves at the fun activity booths or the Dock Dags competition. Part of Olde Town’s beating heart comes from its older buildings that highlight its artistic culture. Since 1979, the Village Theatre’s musical productions have delighted the folks of the Pacific Northwest. “It’s nationally recognized, and they produce new musicals annually. It gives all the Broadway perks without having to go into Seattle,” Garrard says. On Thursdays during the summer, locals bring their lawn chairs and towels to hear the sounds of Blues music at the Gas Station Blues.

Traditional condos to 21st century contemporaries
Olde Town holds more apartments than houses; demographically, there are more renters than homeowners. However, what are there for houses are single families, townhouses, condos and multi-families. “A lot of homes around the downtown are older homes with midcentury modern charm,” Garrard says. Townhouses and condos can be found within walking distance of Front Street or isolated towards the interstate. Condos can range from $350,000 to $600,000, while townhouses stretch from $475,000 to $1.14 million. Most single families are found east of 2nd Avenue or towards Issaquah Creek. Styles vary between midcentury ramblers and Cape Cods to 21st-century contemporary. Prices range from $700,000 to $1.7 million.
Throughout the Olde Town neighborhood, there are several condo buildings.
The Olde Town neighborhood has a variety of homes types, including Craftsman.

Various forms of outdoor recreation
Issaquah embraces all of its surrounding outdoor recreation options. Dog owners are frequent visitors to Confluence Park, where they pass by the Issaquah Creek along the looped trail. Meanwhile, kids may let loose around the playground. Depot Park sits right by the activity of the nearby downtown businesses. Families may take their kids to the playground or throw balls around the fields. Hikers and bikers may stroll the Rainier Trail, where they can explore the city’s history. Just a few miles south of the neighborhood are the Issaquah Alps, home to large natural areas and an expansive trail system. Issaquah is also a significant area for water recreation, such as paddle boarding and kayaking. “Paragliding is a popular outdoor recreation in Issaquah; you see them flying over downtown,” Garrard says. “It’s another kind of quirky thing about Issaquah.”
Confluence Park has several running paths for locals to enjoy.
Depot Park has several historic buildings, including an old railroad station.
