Bus: From downtown Seattle, take King County Metro routes 210, 214 and 215 or Sound Transit route 554 to the Issaquah Transit Center[http://metro.kingcounty.gov/tops/parknride/m_isstcboarding.html]
Car: Interstate 90 eastbound, take exit 15 or exit 17 (Front Street). The main east-west roads are Gilman and Newport Way. Front Street runs north-south through downtown.
Bicycle: Bike lanes run east-west along W Lake Sammamish Pkwy SE[url=http://goo.gl/maps/0LBJ]](north of I-90, preferred) and Newport Way NW[url=http://goo.gl/maps/d0K1[/url]](south of I-90). If coming from Sammamish, it is recommended you avoid the segment of Front Street/East Lake Sammamish between Gilman and SE 56th as there is no bike lane until you've crossed through one of Issaquah's busiest retail areas. (Alternate route[http://goo.gl/maps/3PNs[/url] takes you along the soft trail past this.)

Issaquah is best accessed by car, although bicycling is a viable option. Issaquah also has a network of hiking and walking trails which extend through the Gilman Blvd shopping district to Lake Sammamish State Park. It is possible to walk from Issaquah to Redmond, WA on this trail network.
Bicycle: Bike lanes run east-west on Gilman, though alternative routes (Newport Way, W. Lake Sammamish Pkwy -- see above) have less traffic. If you need to cross I-90, the best route is the pedestrian trail adjacent to 4th Ave NW. Front Street/Issaquah Pine Lake between Gilman and SE 56th street has extremely heavy vehicle traffic.

*From the Gilman Town Hall Museum Website- "
This exhibit tells the story of Issaquah's past through hundreds of photographs and artifacts and a variety of interactive elements. Come see one of Issaquah's original water pipes, a rare Native American fur trade knife, and graffiti hidden for 75 years inside the walls of the fish hatchery. Set off an imaginary charge with an authentic dynamite blaster, ring a logging camp bell, listen to the music of the Squak Valley Hot Shots -- and much more!"
*Lake Sammamish State Park is a 512-acre day-use park with 6,858 feet of waterfront on Lake Sammamish. The area around the lake was an important culture zone for local Native American tribes for centuries. The park provides deciduous forest and wetland vegetation for the enjoyment of visitors. A salmon-bearing creek and a great-blue-heron rookery are additional features.
The park includes diverse natural wetlands, a large great blue heron rookery and the salmon-bearing Issaquah Creek. The park has one of the largest freshwater beaches in the greater Seattle area.

The Issaquah Brewhouse is the home of the Rogue Brewery, which creates a range of excellent beers. These beers are destined not only for patrons' livers but the food itself at their excellent restaurant. Few menu items do not include beer in the ingredients, be they the beer-cheddar soup or the barbecue sauce. The burgers here can be ordered with Kobe-style beef, and topped with Nueske's bacon for a carnivorous experience far beyond that of the average bar and grill. Ideal as a refueling stop after hiking on I-90's myriad trails.
