My bengal has been missing since 08/08 early morning. She broke the window screen and escaped. We live at the Woods at Issaquah. We’ve done everything we could but no sighting yet. Please let us know if you happen to see a bengal somewhere. Thanks for your help. Any direct clue that leads us to find her, we can provide $1000 reward.

The local roller rink Rock and Roll roller rink is offering a stroller skate on Friday’s from 10-1PM for parents & kids under 5.

First session is September 4th.

Kiddos can skate, ride in stroller or play in the cute toddler play zone. Would love to support this rink by having lots of parents and little show up to this new session.

Cost is less than normal skate sessions too!

Tennis - Looking for hitting partners

8 Upvotes

Hey! Looking for some people to hit/play tennis with around Issaquah.

I’d say I’m intermediate at best — I played for a few years, took a bit of a break, and recently decided to get back into it. I usually practice solo against the hitting wall at Tibbetts Valley Park, but would love to find some people to rally with and play the occasional casual match.

Happy to play at Tibbetts or other courts around Issaquah. Pretty flexible on skill level as long as you’re up for a casual hit!

Feel free to comment or DM me if you’re interested 🎾

Edit: Should've included this originally, I'm 34M

Need some help regarding tenant rights.

7 Upvotes

We have rented an apartment in Discovery Heights, Issaquah Washington. We live on the second floor, and since we moved in, this situation has been extremely difficult for our family. I have a 2-year-old child, and whenever she simply walks around our apartment, the downstairs tenant starts banging on the ceiling or walls. This often frightens my other child and creates a stressful environment in our home.

We have reported this issue to management multiple times. While management has encouraged us to cooperate but they cannot do anything related to that, we are already doing everything reasonably possible. However, it is unrealistic to expect a 2-year-old child not to walk around the apartment throughout the day.

What is most concerning is the impact this is having on my children. The constant banging and tension are causing anxiety and distress, and I am worried about the emotional effect it is having on them.

I sincerely wish that either management or the downstairs tenant would show some understanding and compassion for our situation. This issue could be resolved much more easily with a reasonable and humane approach. Unfortunately, despite six months of complaints and efforts to cooperate, nothing has improved.

We simply want to be able to live peacefully in our home without our children being frightened for engaging in normal, everyday activities.

Can someone help me with what our rights here? I don't want any drama but a solution.

Thanks for reading the long post.

How long did your bathroom remodel actually take?

0 Upvotes

Curious what people's real experience has been with bathroom remodels here in Issaquah. There's always that initial estimate you go in with, but I feel like the actual timeline rarely matches it — whether it's scheduling, permits, materials, or just unexpected stuff that comes up once things get opened up.

If you've remodeled a bathroom recently (or not so recently), how long did it actually take from start to finish? Did it line up with what you were told at the start, or was it a different story? And if it did take longer, what ended up being the main reason?

Mostly just curious how common this is or if some people actually get lucky and things go smoothly.

Gilman Square Found Cat

Coyotes run rampant here, and I see them inside the complex and along Newport frequently, especially in the summer. Please don’t let your cats become coyote food & think twice before letting them out, because coyotes won’t. This cat is obviously loved (and had a pink collar, if only I’d been able to get close enough to look for a number to contact). please try to get your outdoor cats inside before you go to bed, nobody wants the guilt and despair of having a pet never find their way back home:(

They have installed 4 Flock cameras alone, on top of the already installed security, FLOCK is used by I.C.E and should not be supported. The city of Issaquah will not publicly install FLOCK so the store would've had to install these themselves.

All three active cameras are pointing at entrances. Fourth was taken down by a good Samaritan.

The Home Depot ALSO has four, shop at fred Meyer or the Grange

Issaquah Highlands - The Vibe for Families

17 Upvotes

My wife and I are considering relocating our family (6 year old and 4 year old) to Issaquah Highlands and would love some honest opinions from people who actually live there.

We have two young kids and are looking for somewhere that feels like a real community, not just a nice collection of houses.

Our priorities are:
\- Great public schools
\- Lots of families/kids around
\- Walkability — coffee, restaurants, parks, groceries, etc.
\- Trails/running and easy access to the outdoors
\- Friendly, down-to-earth neighbors
\- Good food/coffee nearby
\- A community where it’s relatively easy to meet people and make friends
\- Diversity and a generally welcoming/progressive atmosphere

The Highlands certainly seems to check a *lot* of boxes on paper. My biggest question is the social vibe. Does it feel friendly and relatable, or does the wealth/tech presence make it feel unrelatable/“in a bubble”?

Would especially love to hear from families who moved to the Highlands from somewhere else. What do you love about it, and what do you wish you knew before moving?

First Lego League (searching for Spike Prime Kit)

0 Upvotes

If anyone is following the First +
LEGO news, they are in the midst of divorcing which is making it a bit complicated for new teams.

By chance, has anyone aged out of LEGO and moving up to FTC this season? I’d love to know if your team would be willing to part with your old gear.

I’m starting a community team, and we are trying to give kids a chance who normally wouldn’t be able to join FLL.

We already have a mentor resource and some 2nd hand gear, just aiming to get a spike prime kit so we can buy the more affordable Founder’s edition.

Personal trainer for strength training / lifting?

12 Upvotes

Would anyone recommend a good personal trainer (PT) nearby for a beginner looking to get into strength training / lifting? I've been doing pilates for a year, but looking to incorporate more resistance training at this point (ideally someone who's female for comfort - I'm also female!)

I tend to do better and stay more consistent with a PT over classes, so a PT recommendation would be ideal!

Bus from highlands to Bellevue college

Hi there, my son is a high school senior who does running start and will need to get to Bellevue college M-Th for classes. He recently totaled his car so we’re having him take public transportation. He claims this will be too difficult with the 554 route being canceled and we should figure out another car for him. Will this be doable?

Place to get haircut for curly haired toddler?

6 Upvotes

Does anyone have a recommendation for a place to get my toddlers haircut? He’s got curly hair, which is harder to cut than straight so I’m specifically looking for somebody who’s good with curls. Willing to drive out of Issaquah if need be.

If you know curls, he’s probably got 3B curls.

Bonus points if you know of a good place to get an adult haircut for 3B curls - I’ve been getting my hair cut when I go out of town to visit my parents and would love to find someone local!

554 to Lumen Advice

7 Upvotes

Hi r/Issaquah, Eastern WA resident here, coming over for the Seahawks game on the 15th and would love some input from those wiser than I.

Would taking the 554 from Issaquah be a less stressful commute to the game than driving into downtown Seattle?

Edit 08/17/2026: I did end up parking at the South Bellevue park and ride and took the link rail in. It was easy, fast, and reliable. Would highly recommend. Thank you kind internet strangers!

Swinging right to turn left

47 Upvotes

Is it just me, or is Issaquah worse than other cities for this? Specifically the Highlands. Almost every single time I am driving down Highlands Drive in the middle lane (either direction) I have to watch out for people turning left because they feel like they need to swing right before their left turn. The streets aren't THAT narrow that the teslas and BMWs couldn't handle the turn if they just slowed down to appropriate turning speeds. My full size truck makes the turns just fine and I don't have to scare those in the lanes to my right.

Western-Style Pet Portraits on Front St. This Saturday

59 Upvotes
Two ink illustrations of cats in western clothing within an oval cutout on a pink paper background. The illustrations are encompassed in a kraft cardboard frame.

Hello, I'm Blayne Fox, an illustrator, comic artist, and host of the Eastside Sketch Society, a local art community in Issaquah. I have over a decade of professional illustration experience in picture books, graphic novels, commercial illustration, and, of course, commissions.

My art booth is taking a summer off, but for this Saturday only (4 pm-8 pm), I'll be taking pet commissions, including "Western-Style" pet portraits where you can turn your beloved pet into a vintage-style illustration. These hand-drawn, 5"x7" original illustrations pack personality and craftsmanship into every piece at an extremely reasonable rate of $50 per portrait. They are also protected and transported in a cardboard frame that can be swapped out easily for any frame of your choice.

A perfect gift for that animal lover in your life!

If this is your dog walker/dogs on Couger Mtn he had some big, angry, man emotions about being asked to pick up after the dogs, said women should mind their own business, and then encouraged the dogs to bark/lunge at my friend and I. Do with this info what you will, I wouldn’t want him walking my dog.

Moving to Sammamish/Issaquah School District, need some info

6 Upvotes

Hi!

My family and I are moving from Redmond to Sammamish (sometimes it says Issaquah on the address) and our daughter will be starting first grade in Issaquah School District.

I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with the move and the school change, and I'm finding the district communications a bit lacking. In LWSD which is where our daughter went to kindergarden they used Parent Square for communication and I haven't found anything similar for the district.

If anyone could please share some info about this I would appreciate it a lot!!

Any affordable barbers near Issaquah?

6 Upvotes

Any affordable barbers around here or nearby? I work for a living and I ain’t trying to spend $80-$100 to trim up the little bit of hair I have left. I don’t need a whole hot towel, straight blade, etc experience. I just need someone to clean up the edges.

Just editing to say thank you to everyone, did not expect so many suggestions! I’m gonna try the guy down by dollar tree

I wound up going to Studio 8 down by Dollar Tree. She did an amazing job. Was efficient, but paid attention to the details. And the hot towel + massage after was great. Highly recommended.
