Are You Prepared For The Upcoming Snow Storm?

Posted by Larry Cragun No Comments »

More to the point, is your dog prepared?

Issaquah Highlands is dog friendly, from bark park to the streets, even in the elevator at Starpoint.

But how prepared is your dog? I want to introduce you to the thought that you might just want your pooch to dump his pouch. Get him in shape before its too late.

Don’t miss the Issaquah Highlands Garage Sale! June 23 Sat. 9am-4pm

Posted by Larry Cragun No Comments »

This year you had better go early. It has been advertised in the Seattle Times, the Issaquah Press and on Craig’s list, so if you want the best pickings at Issaquah Highlands Garage Sale the early birds may get the worms. This is a fun event. Last year we invited friends and family to it and also told them to stop by our house and get a hamburger or a hotdog. We planned on making this an annual event but this year other things intervened. Those who came last year found some great stuff, stainless steel cook ware, baby strollers and Gap baby clothes at bargain prices. Every year there are more houses in the Highlands so maybe even more good stuff!
