Surrounded by natural beauty, Olde Town is Issaquah’s downtown district. Issaquah means “the sound of birds,” which certainly fits this wooded locale with panoramic views of the mountains and verdant forests. Similar to many Washington locals, Olde Town residents spend their free time hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding along with other outdoor hobbies. There are several parks and trails located in Olde Town and several sprawling green spaces surround the area including the Tiger Mountain State Forest, the Squak Mountain State Park Natural Area, and the Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park.
Although the area has its share of modern amenities, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back in time once you enter this quaint locale. Olde Town resembles a charming small-town with mom-and-pop restaurants, art galleries, and other locally-owned businesses.
