Our
continuous look at past celebrations take us this week to Issaquah's first Labor
Day Parade. In this Sept. 1, 1924 photograph, the Labor Day Rodeo cowboys lead
the march south on Front Street. Following is a band led by William Harris,
visible just to the right of the band, in a suit, holding a book. The Issaquah
Cafe on the left is where the new library is under construction. The railroad
tracks in the foreground led from the depot to the coal mines behind the fish
hatchery. Also of note is the white drinking fountain located next to the
telephone pole on the right corner.
