A blog about Issaquah Highlands, a town within a town. There is always something interesting going on. Homes range from mansions to charming cottages. Porches and alleys, things of the past, are present here in a new way. Some have carriage houses above the garages. Things are tightly packed but well planned allowing many parks and 1500 acres set aside as permanent open space. They believe in "Building Green" and abound in live/work arrangements. I H is touted in the recent issue of Seattle Metropolitan magazine as one of the best places to live in the Seattle area.

Two constant things about Issaquah Highlands are change and choice. The New Home Information Center has even changed locations. That is not new news to anyone who lives in the Highlands because you have to drive by the place it used to be as you come and go.  The same great help and info are still available at 1101 NE High St. #103. You can’t miss the signs. And they still have popcorn and Judy, too.

   

There are big homes, small homes, condos, live-work spaces, homes with acreage, homes with small yards, high rise condos (sort of), townhomes, apartments, inexpensive homes and pricey homes. Contemporary homes, traditional homes, craftsman homes, homes with views, green homes, homes next to parks. The list goes on.

You can live in places like Huckleberry Circle, Vista Park, Brighton on Park, Wisteria Park, Starpoint, Dahlia Park, Harrison Street, Roanoke Woods, Chesapeake Landing, The Cottages, Ravena, West Highlands Park, Magnolia Park, Village Green. It is not by accident that many names have park in them because Issaquah Highlands is almost like living in a park, there are so many of them. Convenient amenities continue to arrive in the form of World Pies, Alice’s Beauty Salon, Le Chic Pet, Sip Restaurant, Marcelas, Highland Cleaners, Rice n Roll, Caffe Ladro, Curves, MK Ballet Studio, Nine Bar Espresso, Subway, Sorella’s and the High Street Mall is underway.

Many events and opportunities for fun are offered throughout the year, such as Highland Days, Easter Egg Hunt, Fall Festival and many more. This just touches on everything Issaquah Highlands has to offer. Come see for yourself.

Issaquah Highlands Is Public Transit Friendly

The very popular Issaquah Highlands Park N RIde is a great local benefit. Sure the garage fills up fast during peak hours, but the benefits are many. A hidden benefit to some is the possible use of the parking garage after hours for dare we say it, “A Cinema Complex”. We have heard this is a critical agreement that Port Blakely must obtain.

I say, do it.

Not only are we served by Metro, but as pictured above, the typically microsoft quality buses frequent our neigbhorhood.

Even with the great service we now have, the service will increase starting next September. More frequent service on existing route 269 will begin and in 2010 route 200 will be expanded to the higlands.

Metro, Issaquah, Port Blakely, and Talus will spend some of their meager resources to fund this service expansion.

So picture this dear friends. You love the highlands some much, you never leave. Yep, you grow old here. We finally get a grocery store so you stay nourished. The shopping Mall is built. Your darling grandkids can jump on a bus and visit. And to top it all off – you spend your time at the new mall and movie theator so the entertainment isn’t the destruction of your lovely home.
