Vern and Jeannie Lindquist, who live out on East Lake Sammamish Parkway, are proud to be lifelong residents of the Issaquah area.
“I had a fantastic experience at Issaquah High School. … I wouldn’t trade it,” Brian Yorkey, Class of 1989, said recently. The Pulitzer Prize-winning writer/director had just finished directing “Jesus Christ Superstar” at the Village Theatre. “I was an IMS kid, an IJHS kid, and this was my town,” he said. “My best friends from high school are still my best friends, though we’ve scattered around the globe. I’m still in touch with a number of my teachers.”
The caboose at the Issaquah Train Depot was built in 1942. It was modified by the Weyerhaeuser Company for use on logging railroads, damaged later in an accident and eventually donated to the Issaquah Historical Society in the summer of 1989.
