Toddler Andrew Thomas relays tips to violinist Evan Hjort, 11, at the Issaquah Farmer’s Market on Saturday.

As well as being just the second market of the season, Saturday’s event also brought together local environmental and sustainability groups, ahead of Earth Day on April 22. Jeff Youngstrom, founder of Getting Around Issaquah Together, spoke with visitor’s about walking, bicycling and bus riding as practical and fun ways to travel around Issaquah.

Member’s of the Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery, (FISH) Shelah Frey and Dick Anderson, promoted the importance of stewardship of the Issaquah Creek Basin, and of improving the historic Issaquah Salmon Hatchery.

This Saturday, the City of Sammamish is hosting an Earth Day event – a family volunteer cleanup event at Pine Lake Park. For more information contact Dawn Sanders at 425-295-0556 or dsanders@ci.sammamish.wa.us.
