Looking Back
From The Issaquah Press, October 6, 1999

This photograph was taken during one of Issaquah's early celebrations. A Seattle photographer snapped this shot of a cowboy trying to maintain his balance on a bucking bronco during the Issaquah Roundup, which traditionally took place around Labor Day each year. This picture is from 1924 when the roundup was Aug. 30- Sept. 1. The Issaquah Roundup is generally considered the forerunner of today's Salmon Days Festival, which marked its 30th anniversary this year.
