Community Events and Housing Survey in Issaquah

Issaquah, WALocal News

Issaquah is actively promoting community engagement through a series of upcoming events designed to foster local involvement and environmental consciousness. One such event is a bilingual "Story Walk" in Downtown Issaquah, where families can enjoy the book "Tree hugs / Abrazados" while walking through the area. This initiative, hosted by the Downtown Issaquah Association, aims to make reading accessible and enjoyable for all, particularly families with diverse linguistic backgrounds. In addition, the city is celebrating "Green Issaquah Day" with tree-planting events at three distinct sites, encouraging residents to contribute to the city's green initiatives. The events will take place in collaboration with local organizations to enhance community bonds.

Furthermore, the city is seeking input from residents through a survey on Middle Housing, following the adoption of House Bill 1110 by the Washington State Legislature. This legislation requires cities to provide a wider range of housing types, addressing the growing demand for diverse living options. Issaquah residents are urged to engage in these initiatives to help shape the future of their community.
