Issaquah Community Center — Attraction in Issaquah

The community center was built some time ago, with an obvious leaning towards youth. The weight/workout area is quite small, but it can get your sweat up and your muscles bulging. Here's the deal: Issaquah is one of the fastest growing areas in Greater Puget Sound. It is a HIGHLY affluent area. In terms of communities that are near this size, this community center is painfully small and far too focused on children's activities as opposed to being balanced. An example would be Lynnwood (which is most certainly larger than Issaquah, but not more affluent) which has a magnificent community center that is state of the art and serves a wide range of demographics and ages VERY well. At some point, Issaquah is going to have to address these issues and build a community center that is relevant for the entire community, not just the families that it serves so very well (and kudos to them for THAT!). Five stars to the staff, five stars to the folks who frequent this place, but Issaquah is going to have to do better. Starting with a much better and larger weight room would be a good start.

This was never mentioned to us when we signed up, and they never offered any sort of extension or refund for the lost access time. That was disappointing, and to be honest we lost momentum and just stopped going when we learned that. But it's a clean, well- maintained facility with good instructors and equipment, and I especially recommend it to anyone with kids, as they have lots of activities for the...

The Issaquah Community Center is an incredible resource for the community. The facility itself is always clean, well-maintained, and welcoming. The staff is professional, friendly, and always ready to help.

They offer such a wide variety of programs—everything from arts to sports—making it a great place for people of all ages and interests. One of my favorite things is their Concerts on the Green during the summer. It’s such a fun and vibrant event that really brings the community together.

If you’re looking for a place to get involved, try something new, or just enjoy what Issaquah has to offer, the Community Center is definitely worth...
