Seattle, WA, Townhouse in the woods

Welcome to our home in the woods of Issaquah, close to Seattle city center to the West and the snow-capped Cascade mountains to the East.

We live in a quiet, family friendly neighborhood that offers multiple parks and playgrounds, two community swimming pools, basketball, tennis and pickle ball courts, hiking trails and a grocery store all within walking distance, as well as a large mountain bike park with more hiking trails right around the corner. Enjoy a swim, kayaking or other water activities in one of the two large lakes nearby where you can hang out all day (we have two inflatable standup paddle boards available). The cities of Issaquah and nearby Sammamish offer a range of free outdoor summer concerts for the whole family, a salmon hatchery, public library, multiple restaurants, grocery stores, shopping, and a movie theater, as well as opportunities for paragliding. Seattle city center is a short car drive or bus ride away. From there you can take one of the many ferries to explore the beautiful Pacific Northwest with its numerous islands including Victoria British Columbia or visit one of the many museums that Seattle has to offer. Seattle is ground zero for the American music scene, and there are many in- and outdoor concerts all year around. Seattle also has a large stadium, where you can watch live soccer, baseball, and other sporting events.

Our home is equipped with a large screen smart TV, lots of games and books, a well-equipped kitchen (we love to cook!), and an outdoor grill on the patio. It easily sleeps 4 people and each bedroom comes with a separate bathroom.

Our house is located in the Issaquah Alps (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Issaquah_Alps) that offer a wide array of opportunities for outdoor activities. Our house guests can also visit one or more of the beautiful state and national parks nearby, such as the Olympic Peninsula, Mt. Rainier or the beaches of the Oregon coast. There are endless opportunities for outdoor activities in the area and we would love to welcome you to explore them.
