Issaquah Tidbits

Issaquah is located on the southernmost border of Lake Sammamish and is only 17 miles east of Seattle. The community is the second fastest growing suburb in Washington State primarily because it offers ideal weather in the summertime, mountains that are close by, as well as its close proximity to Seattle. During recent years, the community has grown and attracts many new residents. However, it is important to remember the robust and rich history of this small community, with the current influx of these new residents.

A Native Indian tribe who were the earliest known inhabitants of the area named the region Squak. The actual meaning of the term is unknown. While some people believe that the word mimics some types of waterfowl, others that Squak translates into little stream. Although it really doesnt matter what the word means, Squak is currently the name of both the community as well as one of the close by mountains.

During the 1860s early pioneers arrived in the area and farmed primarily for the breweries in close by Seattle. By 1899, the community had its own railroad depot and continued to grow steadily. Two years later, coal mining was then made profitable with the arrival of the Seattle, Lake Shore, and Eastern Railroad companies.

The year 1892 brought the incorporation of the community under the name of Gilman. The new community functioned mainly as support for the coal mining operations on the close by Cougar mountains as well as the community of Squak for the next ten years of its existence as an official community.

As the result of the significant influx of coal miners and the people required to support them, the new community was booming, much the same as many other mining communities. For the coal miners and residents of Gilman, mining would remain an important source of work, if not the only one, for several years in the future. During this time frame, the community of Gilman was renamed to Issaquah in honor of its Native Indian history.

In addition to coal mining, the region that surrounded Issaquah was also nearly perfect for the lumber industry. The extensive forestation of the region made it an ideal location for the development of sawmills, and many companies used the communitys railroad system to export the lumber to Seattle.

The lumber industry had a rather amazing side effect on the community by creating clear and fertile land that was ready to be farmed. This land was soon used by dairy farmers after the value in planting hops was destroyed by a destructive plague of hop aphids. The community of Issaquah was the primary supplier of fresh milk to the community of Seattle by the early 1910s.

However, the mining and lumber industries were dealt a final blow with the onset of the Great Depression. Not many people were buying what was being produced, the forest had been cleared, and the mines had been drying up. The boom cycle of the community was ending, and it had a relatively stable population while it settled into the quiet life of a farming community. The Issaquah Salmon Hatchery is currently the most visited and largest hatcheries in the state of Washington was a project that the government supported during the Great Depression.

In 1940, the Lake Washington Floating Bridge opened, which ushered in the modern period for the community of Issaquah. This was bolstered in the early 1970s by the opening of Interstate 90. From then on the connection between Seattle and Issaquah and points further east made for a considerable more amount of traffic. As the suburbs in Seattle continued to expand in number, a natural place for new development was the community of Issaquah.

There is some danger of forgetting about the hardworking people from all walks of life and the very American story about the history of Issaquah, with companies such as Costco and Boeing relocating to the region. Organizations that include the Issaquah Historical Society as well as the Issaquah History Museum share the story of the community for those people who may not know what the history of Issaquah is all about.

Starting during the 1980s developers purchased a significant amount of the farmland in the valley. Since then, the valley has been filled with businesses, restaurants, and shopping malls. Accordingly, the cost of housing has been affected and by the 2000s the median value of homes was greater than $250,000. This has resulted in some major caused traffic congestion on the Interstate 90 corridor, which has resulted in additional lanes as well as new interchanges.

The history of the community of Issaquah is based around its downtown for the majority of its history. The community started annexing the surrounding area that included much of Squak Mountain and Cougar Mountain, in addition to the Issaquah Highlands, located just south of the Sammamish Plateau, as more people relocated to the valley.

The community of Issaquah once again became a boomtown by the 2000s. Census data reported that Issaquah was the fastest growing community in Washington State in 2003.
