With a backdrop of three gorgeous mountains (“The Issaquah Alps”) sprinkled with red and yellow leaves and a dusting of snow, Issaquah is a alive in the Fall and beckons visitors to explore the great northwest from our “Basecamp”. Catch a late-arriving Salmon, winding its way up Issaquah creek. Warm yourself by the outdoor fire at the new Wildfin Bistro on Gilman Blvd. Head up to the Pass or Crystal Mountain to try some early winter skiing or snowboarding, and then head back to town for a nice micro-brew at Issaquah Rogue Brewhouse in downtown Issaquah.
Have Kids? There are plenty of things to do in Issaquah for kids of all ages this Fall. At the Issaquah Community Center, they offer everything from open gym basketball to yoga stretch classes for kids and there are even activities for toddlers! For some outdoor fun – take the family hiking along any of Issaquah’s many treasured hiking trails, the Burke Gilman Trail is definitely a local favorite. However, if there’s one thing to do in the Fall in Issaquah that kids will love, it’s seeing the salmon swimming within all of the many creeks in town. The salmon come to spawn in the streams in Issaquah each Fall, where they were originally born, so this is a ‘must see’ for kids and adults alike and something that you will only see in Issaquah!
