Community Care in Action Winter Storms, Irrigation and Landscaping

The Issaquah Highlands Community Association (IHCA) prepares for winter storms by coordinating with the City of Issaquah Public Works and trusted vendors to ensure community safety. Residents are encouraged to shut off their irrigation systems for the season and to keep their contact information updated with the IHCA office. During significant snow events, the IHCA will provide updates through social media and e-news, while the City manages plowing on public streets. Homeowners must clear sidewalks of snow and ice, as they bear responsibility for maintaining these areas. The community spans 484 acres with over 4,000 homes, highlighting the extensive snow removal needed.

Delays in snow removal services may occur due to accumulation and access issues. Residents should treat their property with ice melt and snow shovels until service can be safely provided. These proactive measures aim to ensure safety and accessibility for all community members during winter weather.
