Issaquah Overview
Home to over 40,000 people, Issaquah is an important city in King County, Washington. It is located near I-90, providing good access to the surrounding area. This urban–suburban mixed city offers a modern community with beautiful apartment communities. There are a number of parks here, locally owned shops, and lots of small restaurants. For those who rent apartments in Issaquah, WA, being close to the area’s many amenities is one of the best reasons to live here.
What is the history of Issaquah?
Issaquah is a Native American word that means “the sound of birds,” and that provides a good starting point for this area’s history. It was not officially incorporated until 1892. At that point, it was an important mining town, though still small. It was home to many people who worked in one of two mines located in the nearby mountains. By the late 1890s, the mines were almost depleted, but the lumber industry in the area was growing, thanks to the demand for new homes in Seattle and larger cities in the region. Over time, companies like Boeing opened their doors nearby, and Microsoft established in Redmond, ultimately opening a location in Issaquah as well. This helped the area to grow and prosper over the last 30 years.
How is the weather in Issaquah?
The city has a wet climate. It is noted for its wet winters and warm but often humid summer months. It is not uncommon for temperatures in July to reach into the 90s or higher, though the average tends to be around 75 degrees. The lowest temperatures in winter typically are around the 30s and 40s, but these can drop down into single digits a few times a year. The area gets about 12 inches of snow annually and about 62 inches of rain, especially during the spring and fall months.
How do I get around town?
Many people who live in Issaquah apartments have vehicles to take them where they need to go. However, there is public transportation available as well. There is the King County metro which provides local bus service. The Sound Transit also helps people to get to Bellevue and Seattle. For those who need to commute and do not want to drive, there are several park-and-ride locations in the city, including the Issaquah Transit Center and the Issaquah Highlands Park area. This is a popular option for reducing the cost of commuting to Seattle.
What is the Issaquah commute like?
Many of the Issaquah apartment communities are located near I-90, which bisects the city. It runs directly to Seattle, which is a popular commute. The commute to Seattle takes about 20 minutes when there is little traffic but can take twice as long during heavy traffic periods, which is typically around 7:30 am until 9 am and then again around 5 pm to 6:30 pm. There’s also a significant amount of traffic in the city, especially near Front Street, which travels through the heart of the city.
What are the local media outlets?
Most of the media outlets here are directly from Seattle. Radio stations such as 99.9 KISW-FM, K223BU 94.5, and 97.3 KIRO FM are some of the most popular radio stations.
