Gilman Village — Attraction in Issaquah

This place is just odd. It's like... Kind of has that stepford unreality to it, but at the same time that level of artificial oddly fits in whatever Issaquah is. Now I grew up here, and I was here before the pod people came up from that wierd place they were hatched down south of Redding... But... It's just creepy.
