Review of Issaquah Washing,


Issaquah is not the same
Star Rating - 1/3/2010
I grew up in Issaquah when it was a small cute town. At night the few stop lights that we had would just flash red because there was no traffic. Half of the town was open country and there was still some farms. Big corporations like Costco have come in and made this town ugly. I dont even recognize the place anymore. Huge traffic jams and condos everywhere. The town is so ugly now and at the rate it is growing forget about its future. It has been rated #1 for retirement. If anyone understands exponential growth they would not move there.
Im very ashamed of the people who let such a cute town go to crap. I can only hope the town of Fall city doesnt fall into the same trap.

Class of '73 here, Victor. The place almost brought me to tears when I came through to revisit some old haunts. The town is no longer. It's been completely destroyed, as well as everything for miles around it. Very sad. I was fortunate enough to meet the wonderful Mr. Bohem way back when his candy shop was one of the biggest attractions in Issaquah, and all those St. Bernards in their cottage dog houses.
