Hometown Issaquah Reunion |

Join us for the fifth annual Hometown Issaquah Reunion, from 10 AM until 4 PM at the Issaquah Depot & Issaquah Senior Center. As in years past, the event will provide an opportunity for longtime residents, former residents, and pioneer descendents to meet and socialize. This year’s reunion will also offer workshops designed to help you reveal and preserve your own personal history. Workshops will address memoir-writing, basic genealogy, and preservation of photos and heirlooms. More information, including a registration form, is available here. |
