This is kind of a niche question, but hoping someone can offer advice. We have an elderly cat and we have decided it is ready to put her down due to a variety of medical reasons. She hasn’t been receiving veterinarian care the past few years because she was getting very aggressive and it was overwhelming for everyone involved. I don’t even know where to start this process. I know lap of Love offers in-home euthanasia, but right now we cannot afford that. Has anyone had a positive experience going to a clinic? We’re over in Bellevue, but are willing to travel for the right fit. Thanks in advance.

Not saying she is a bad candidate. If you want to stop trumpism and MAGA, you should re elect her but her vote on funding Israel is a scab on her record. Her opponents are typically far right radicals or unqualified candidates. She was a pediatrician at Virginia Mason Issaquah and has fought against trump's craziness but this vote to keep sending billions to Israel is pathetic.https://schrier.house.gov/

AB 9198 - Proposed Automated License Plate Reader Camera Use Policy

This agenda bill seeks City Council direction on the development of policy related to automated license plate reader technology. Specifically, the Administration is seeking City Council direction on three possible policy options for the City of Issaquah’s regulation of this technology operated by the City and within City limits.

Issaquah does not currently own or operate ALPR cameras, and the Administration is not proposing the acquisition or deployment of an ALPR system. This report responds to the City Council's request to explore potential policy frameworks in advance of any future consideration of the technology. The Council may determine that no further action is appropriate and maintaining the City's current practice of not deploying ALPR technology remains one of the policy options available.

These are the three options listed in the doc:

Option 1: State Law Baseline The City adopts only those policies necessary to comply with ESSB 6002 and would not impose any additional local restrictions beyond the state law.

Option 2: Enhanced State Law – More Secure, More Transparent, More Limited Scope and Shorter Retention The City would allow ALPR technology but impose stricter safeguards regarding data retention, access, sharing, and cybersecurity.

Option 3: Prohibition on ALPR Deployment The City would prohibit acquisition or operation of ALPR technology by the Issaquah Police Department.

The full agenda has details on how to attend or join the meeting virtually and provide public comment:

Hi, how is the job market currently and which platform people use to apply for jobs?

I have been looking for construction job from long time. I have 10 years of experience as well. Still in haven't received any lead. I saw add out for Estimator from 6 montgs. Sometimes I think if people train other people, they will be more beneficial than waiting game..

In 2025, the Washington Legislature passed a law that prevents rent gouging, but some landlords and property management companies are still up to their old tricks. They are using "junk fees" as a loophole around rent caps. We are hearing from tenants that they are increasingly being charged excessive fees for services that they don’t want or need, or for basic things like paying the rent. We at the Housing Alliance, call these “junk fees” and they are unfair, expensive, and deceptive. We’d like to hear your experiences. All information shared with us will be kept safe and confidential. 

Please fill out our survey if you or someone you know has received junk fees and we will be in touch within 48 hours. Thank you! ~ Po

I have a Celestron NexStar telescope sitting around gathering dust and I'm curious whether there are any clubs or groups in the Issaquah area or around the greater Seattle region that would like to have it. I am simply never going to get around to using it, so it may as well reside somewhere useful.

For the last two months it feels, they keep drilling holes in issaquah hobart rd and slowing down everyones commute. Does anyone know what this is for?

Looks like work started on the new Dave's Hot Chicken, going in where Cafe Rio used to be.

Hi neighbors. We are looking to do a full remodel of our bathroom. Does anyone have recommendations for contractors and/or designers? It’s our only bathroom, so we need someone we can rely on. Thanks!

Cruised by the post office & the writing on the abandoned red car has been smeared out. And there's a City of Issaquah card taped to the car.

Is someone actually getting fragile about the car after all this time & references to this sub? 😆

Hey Issaquah subreddit! I’m visiting Sammamish from TN and I was driving around late the other night after grabbing food at Dick’s and saw something strange.

When you hop off of 18, about a mile down Issaquah-Hobart Road (just past Tiger Mountain Road) there’s a Fiat 500 that’s resting on its driver’s side in the ditch off the side of the road. It clearly rolled over from an accident, but when we passed it, the passenger door was open as if someone had crawled out. There were no lights on in the vehicle, the headlights or flashers weren’t on, and it looked like no one had responded to the scene at first glance.

I decided to call it in to emergency services and make a couple laps past the vehicle to see if I could spot anything else. On my last drive past the car, I turned my headlights towards the car and stopped for a second. I saw the passenger door being held open, attached to the front bumper via bungee cord, as well as two small signs on the car that had the red circle/slash through it (like a no smoking sign without the cig in the middle). That setup struck me as weird and I can’t figure out why this vehicle wasn’t recovered.

Anyone have any ideas on what happened?

Anyone else pissed that King County is cancelling the 554 bus, while not providing train service?

Issaquah has added hundreds of new housing units since 2020 and on track for thousands, while other neighbors are doing much with less expediency to provide for the needed housing crunch in our region.

Meanwhile, each resident in Issaquah has paid thousands for train service since 2016, and instead the train construction is delayed AND King County has removed two express bus lines. (214 and 554)

Lots of new housing units in the valley are about to go online, just as the county is about to remove viable access to downtown. There is not enough viable housing in Seattle; Issaquah is providing that. The 556 requires a transfer and longer route, it's not a practical option for residents.

King County needs to reciprocate and provide the bus service to support a community it's been grifting off of for transit dollars since 2016.

AIO? Complain to the mayor and King County. This is regressive, the county needs to get it together.

I am looking for boxes that are about “19 length/width
I’m using them for shipping, so have to be in good shape.
Where are the best spots in the area for some? I tried Facebook marketplace but didn’t find any near me.
I’ve heard that I can try Trader Joe’s, just seeing if there are other places in town

I'm hoping to find a vet with more of a personal, hometown feel. I grew up where you just had a local vet who knew their clients, didn't push memberships or wellness plans, and was super personable.

I'm not looking for the fanciest clinic or a corporate chain...just an honest, compassionate, reasonably priced vet who takes the time to care for both pets and their people.

Does anyone have a vet around the Eastside/Redmond, Sammamish, Issaquah, or nearby that gives off that kind of vibe? THANK YOU 💛
