== Location and Geography ==
Issaquah is a suburb located about east of Seattle, just inside King County’s urban growth boundary. The historic core of Issaquah lies on the south side of Interstate 90, and to the north are the sprawling Sammamish Plateau and the City of Redmond, Washington. The site lies on the north side of the freeway and on the south side of the Sammamish Plateau. Most of the development has been annexed by the City of Issaquah. It is bounded by major arterials, with East Lake Sammamish Parkway on the west and Issaquah–Fall City Road on the north.
The eastern boundary follows the crest of a hill, with uphill slopes offering views of Lake Sammamish, Seattle, and the Olympic Mountains to the west and the Cascade Mountains to the north. The open space is covered by a wide variety of native vegetation, evergreen and broadleaf trees, and populated by native wildlife species, the largest of which is the black bear. Trails within the open spaces are maintained by citizen volunteers and connect with regional trail systems that link to Puget Sound, to the west, and Vantage, Washington, to the east.
