The Timbers at Issaquah Ridge was developed by Evans Wakefield (Bellevue-based) and built by Windsor Construction around 2000–2002. Current owner/manager: Simpson Property Group (acquired shortly after construction).

Fun Issaquah WA History

Name: From Native Lushootseed word meaning “the sound of birds” (or “squawks”). Settlers called it Squak Valley due to noisy wetland birds — later briefly Gilman, then Issaquah in 1899.

Mining Boom: Started as a coal mining town in the late 1800s on Tiger/Cougar/Squak Mountains. Railroad arrival sparked rapid growth; mines were the big employer until they faded.

Salmon Legacy: Issaquah Creek famous for salmon runs. The historic hatchery (1930s) still supports fish today.

Evolution: From remote farming/mining valley to modern suburb with historic downtown gems like the old Train Depot and Gilman Village. Costco HQ is here now!

That’s a seriously impressive building—Franklin Antonio Hall nails the “design for collaboration” brief without feeling gimmicky. The way @perkinswill used those big, shared collaboratories instead of siloed departments feels like a genuinely smart evolution for research facilities.

Organized around 13 large “collaboratories,” this research building clusters interdisciplinary teams into shared lab environments designed to accelerate cross-field innovation.
