The Highlands Council is promoting community engagement and resilience in Issaquah Highlands with a packed schedule of events and initiatives. The annual community survey is a crucial tool for gathering resident feedback, covering topics such as communication and community life. Last year's survey results led to the creation of a Block Party Toolkit, empowering residents to host neighborhood gatherings. The introduction of Speed Neighboring and New Neighbor Social events aims to help residents connect and build relationships in a welcoming environment. Furthermore, the council is prioritizing emergency preparedness through training courses like the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program.

These initiatives not only enhance community bonds but also equip residents with vital skills for emergencies. The council's efforts underscore the importance of resident input in shaping the future of Issaquah Highlands. Community members are encouraged to participate actively in surveys and events to foster a more connected and resilient community.
