Issaquah blends a walkable, friendly downtown with easy access to Lake Sammamish and the Issaquah Alps (Tiger, Cougar, Squak) for hiking, plus local breweries, a farmers market, and community events that make multi-week stays active and enjoyable.
Big-city options are close — Bellevue and Seattle are only a short drive away for dining, arts, and airport connections, so you get quiet outdoor living with vibrant urban choices nearby.
