My dad lived in Issaquah from 1975 until I think about 12 years ago in Mirramont (sp) Estates. My stepmom, Susie, worked at the IHOP for many years. I lived there in the late 70’s. Worked at the went to Issaquah High, worked at the glider field after school, and then on to Pick’s restaurant for the night shift. I miss that place. Although when I was there about 13 years ago, it had grown up from the days I lived there with one flashing light in the middle of town.
I lived in North Bend just a few miles east of Issaquah, for almost 21 years and watched as Issaquah degraded into a bedroom extension of several adjoining Democrat cities. It was ruined, It went from a fairly idyllic small town, to a bumper to bumper nightmare.
I drove through daily(1979 to 2000), as I worked at Boeing Seattle’s Boeing field.
If there was an elected Republican in the entirety of King county I don’t remember them.
