Public works professionals are the quiet heroes behind clean water, safe streets, reliable infrastructure and so much more.
They may work behind the scenes, but their impact is all around us. Thank you Public Works team!
I've heard powerful stories from Issaquah residents facing job loss, economic hardship, and uncertainty.
Despite these challenges, there is hope. Sometimes all it takes is a small gesture.

Had a fantastic time meeting Sravani and her team at Masthi Bar & Grill. Was biking by and decided to stop in. It's a fun spot for karaoke and trivia nights! Don't miss their special Mother's Day event. The Indian cuisine was absolutely delicious! #IssaquahLoyal
We mourn the loss of WA State Sen Bill Ramos. No words can fully describe his impact. His calm leadership, inclusive spirit, and commitment to community will be deeply missed. Our thoughts are with his family and all who were touched by his service.
