Stage in Front of Grand Central Hotel - Circa 1930 Issaquah Historical Society Photo
One of the forerunners to a Metro Bus is parked in front of the Grand Central
Hotel in this circa 1930 photo. The stage, as it was called then, appears to
hold about 14 or 15 passengers and, at the time of this photo, is awaiting
passengers. The Issaquah Press advertises on September 16, 1931, that hotel
rooms are 75 cents and up, with weekly rates ranging from $ 2 to $ 3. Mrs. M. Z.
Marion is proprietress of the hotel, and Ratchford & Kennedy are proprietors
of the cafe, which advertises a dinner at 40 cents.
