Issaquah Highlands is a 2,000 acre community located 17 miles east of Seattle, Washington, in the hills above the town of Issaquah, WA. Based on a regional growth management plan, the original design for the site allowed 3 million s.f. of office development, 3,250 dwelling units, and a 400,000 s.f. town center, all on approximately 800 acres of land. This walkable, medium to high density community serves a range of income and lifestyle groups, with activity focused around the town center, neighborhood centers, and a village center to the east. A complex open space system plays a major role with over 1,200 acres of natural open space, protected wetlands, and community and neighborhood parks.
