What visitors say
Everything downtown area is about restoration. This little train depo is fun and informative. You can go inside the yellow train car. Gives an atmosphere from the past type of feeling. Nice park and adequate parking. Walk around town…
Right in downtown Issaquah, this spot has fun stuff to do and cool historical things to check out.
The historic museum only open on weekend. If you plan to visit museum, go on Sat/Sun. This area gives me a vibe of Alaska. It is serene and quiteness. Worth to pay a visit if you haven't been there before.
