Land Use Element Appendix Issaquah’S Treasures

Land Use Element Appendix Issaquah’s Treasures Part of the process of establishing Issaquah's future land use goals was the identification of the Issaquah area "Treasures," which are natural and human built features valued by the community. This exercise was part of a year-long process known as "Issaquah Forum 1992," and the resulting Feasibility Circles. The City Council adopted the following treasures (Resolution No. 93-15, June 9, 1993), thus recognizing their value to the community and the need to consider their relationship to future actions taken by the City of Issaquah: 1. Issaquah Creek/Salmon Run 2. Salmon Hatchery 3. Old Historic District, old Front Street (with small, independent shops) 4. Issaquah Alps Trails 5. Village Theater 6.
