Research – Issaquah History Museums

For about one hundred and forty years, Issaquahns have been digging deep. We have been literally digging deep to monetize the land, figuratively digging deep into our hearts to support each other, and academically digging deep to research the significant role that Issaquah has played in shaping our region and the lives that we experience today.

This page provides the means for all of us to dig deep. Representing over forty years of research, authoring, interviewing, and remembering, as well as the collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and scanning of historic documents, this page provides access to an immense trove of historic information.

Use this material to discover and forge your historic and community roots, and to find the common stories that connect us while defining our present and guiding our future.
