Active lifestyle adjacent to downtown
Issaquah’s southernmost neighborhood, Sycamore, provides city convenience while bundled between parts of the Issaquah Alps. “It’s located on the east side of Squak Mountain, and there are a lot of trailheads from the neighborhood,” says Christy Garrard, Executive Director for Visit Issaquah and resident. That’s usually why residents here stay active because of the numerous trails and outdoor activities. Once they’re home, it’s a quieter suburb with homes on larger lots that often have mountain views. “We have folks that live here for generations and are a part of the city’s pioneer spirit,” Garrard says. Sycamore sits south of the downtown or Olde Town, which makes for a quick drive to the dozens of restaurants that satisfy many palettes.

Settled between the Issaquah Alps
Sycamore sits comfortably between two parts of the Issaquah Alps. To the west is Squak Mountain, and to the east is Tiger Mountain. Stretching nearly 14,000 acres, the Tiger Mountain State Forest attracts locals for its advanced outdoor recreation activities like hang gliding and paragliding. Hikers of all levels head to the park’s numerous trails for a lighter hike or a mountain bike journey. “I’ve talked to people from Colorado that come for these trails on Issaquah Alp Mountains because they say it’s their favorite to ride,” Garrard says. Residents can also access the Squak Mountain trail right in the neighborhood, where it reaches the Squak Mountain State Park Natural Area. Hikers can learn more about Issaquah’s history along the 3 miles of the Rainier Trail or explore the rocky ways of the Poo Poo Point Trail. Squak Valley Park draws locals for its colorful playground and fields, which are ideal for a game of soccer.

Diverse housing selection with funky styles
Sycamore offers mostly apartments and single families, but there are sprinkles of condos and townhouses. “The neighborhood is divided into sections, with the lower part having excellent views of the creek, and as you get into the hills, you get stunning views of the area below,” says Lisa Foreman, a real estate broker with Windermere Real Estate/East. Condos are towards the northwest end along Cabin Creek Lane. These one to three-bedroom spaces range from $419,000 to $745,000. “A lot of the homes built in Sycamore were constructed in the spirit of midcentury modern, some funky cool houses up there,” Garrard says. Styles can range from Pacific Northwest contemporaries to traditional and multi-level styles. Prices for single families range from $950,000 to $2 million.

Locals flock to Jak’s Grill for its low-key atmosphere paired with various steak and seafood dishes. Montalcino Ristorante Italiano provides a fine dining experience by serving fresh entrées with wines from Montalcino, Italy. Adults over 21 head to Big Picture to catch the latest in Hollywood while eating casual sandwiches and fries with cocktails.

Olde Town holds one of the city’s crown jewels, the Village Theatre, where new musicals and Broadway-like performances entertain residents. “A popular activity for visitors and locals is to have dinner and go see a show and see the Broadway-quality performance,” Garrard says. Issaquah’s Salmon Hatchery brings crowds of tens of thousands to the area for the annual Salmon Days festival. “It’s an opportunity to see the lifecycle of the salmon as they return to the Hatchery,” Garrard says.
