Issaquah Highlands Connections July 2013 • 3 FROM THE EDITOR “It ain’t easy bein’ green,” but it’s got its perks! For the fifth year in a row, Issaquah Highlands welcomes not one, but two herds of goats to trim our open spaces’ grass and devour the weeds. The goats provide a huge cost savings to the IHCA, as well as providing that “green” solution to the age-old problem of stuff growing where you don’t want it. Come out and see the goats! We will let you know details in the E-Letter about when and where they will be. And in the meantime, read all about goats throughout these pages, including getting up close with one of “our” goats in the Resident Profile. But IH excitement doesn’t end there! We have a new movie theater and it’s open NOW! With 12 screens, we thought you might like a little assistance prioritizing your viewing schedule. Connections welcomes Paul Slater as our movie reviewer, a resident with a uniquely broad and deep movie-going experience, and an entertaining way of sharing his opinions. Get to know him in this issue, and see what Tami has to say about the movies in this issue, too. With all the new development going on, you will need the latest reports. We included a new community map in the centerfold. To some, new development stirs up questions and concerns. See our interview with the City’s Dan Ervin about how all the new traffic is supposed to flow. There is too much in here to call it ALL out for you! But we would like you to enjoy all of the great stories inside. Thus the new cover! We hope this new look encourages you to keep Connections on the coffee table all the month long so that you have time to enjoy every bit of it, and to refer to it until the next issue comes out. Who could resist the mug of a goat? Enjoy!

The name Issaquah is an anglicized version of the Salish word meaning the sound of birds. Salish tribes were the first people of this area. The town was originally incorporated under the name Gilman in honor of Daniel Hunt Gilman who was responsible for bringing the railroad to the area. In 1899, the town’s name was changed to Issaquah by the permission of the Washington State Legislature. In 1862, L.B. Andrews located outcroppings of coal along Issaquah Creek and the area soon became a center for mining, farming and timber harvesting. The town continued to grow through the latter part of the 19th century despite race riots aimed at Chinese farm workers and labor wars involving the Wobblies, members of the International Workers of the World, and local mining and timber interests. It was a rough beginning. After Issaquah’s incorporation in 1899, the first 70 ordinances passed dealt with liquor, wandering animals and unruly public officials. There were about twelve saloons lining the few streets of the town; however, during the early 20th century, Issaquah began attracting businesses and families and became a melting pot of nationalities, trades and interests.

  • M E M O R a N D U M Route 269 Profile City of Sammamish Service
    M E M O R A N D U M To: Jim Stanton, Microsoft From: Steve Crosley and Sonja Burseth, Nelson\Nygaard Date: June 14, 2017 Subject: Route 269 Service Change Memo This memo analyzes a potential service change to re-route the southern segment of King County Metro (KCM) Route 269, from its existing path to a new path between South Sammamish Park and Ride and Issaquah Transit Center. Route 269 Profile Route 269 has a weekday average of 1,123 daily riders (boardings+alightings), see Figure 5. The route serves six park and rides on the north and east side of Lake Sammamish: Overlake Park and Ride, Overlake Transit Center, Bear Creek Park and Ride, South Sammamish Park and Ride, Issaquah Highland Park and Ride, and Issaquah Transit Center, and the majority of ridership occurs during commute hours. Much of the average weekday ridership is centered on these park and rides (see Figure 3 and Figure 4). The max load location for both inbound (to Issaquah) and outbound (to Overlake) is near Bear Creek Park and Ride in Redmond, at 180th Ave NE/NE 76th St with 162 average daily riders, and 180th Ave NE/NE 68th St with 181 average daily riders respectively (see Figure 6 and Figure 7). The most productive segment on the route is SE 56th St/East Lake Sammamish Pkwy to Issaquah Transit Center with 24.9 boardings per service hour. The two least productive segments on the route are S Sammamish Park and Ride to Issaquah Highlands (11.0 boardings per service hour), and Issaquah Highlands to SE 56th ST/East Lake Sammamish Pkwy (12.0 boardings per service hour), (see Figure 5).
