City Properties to Become Open Space and a Future Neighborhood Park

The City of Issaquah has made significant strides in community development by acquiring two properties designated for open space and a future neighborhood park. Following this successful acquisition, the city plans to demolish the aging structures currently on the sites, with demolition activities set to commence in early September 2024. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance recreational spaces in the Olde Town neighborhood, reflecting the city’s commitment to improving public amenities and quality of life for its residents. The city has emphasized the importance of community feedback and involvement in this project, encouraging residents to stay informed and engaged. By expanding green spaces and park facilities, Issaquah aims to foster a sense of community and promote outdoor activities.

The city will provide further updates as the demolition and development processes unfold. This project not only addresses immediate community needs but also positions Issaquah for future growth and sustainability. The city remains dedicated to maintaining transparency and open communication throughout this endeavor.
