Summer has arrived and it’s going to be a hot one! Fortunately, the new HVAC system in Blakely Hall will make community events and groups much more bearable in the summer heat. We hope to see you at community events throughout the summer such as our Global Grub & Groove series, where we will celebrate Juneteenth, Indonesian and Malaysian cultures, and Indian Independence Day.

As you flip through the pages of Connections, we are excited to share the Issaquah Highlands Community Association (IHCA) Annual Report, which highlights all the hard work our homeowner’s association accomplished over the last year.

Plus, join us in congratulating our community’s 2023 college and high school graduates! We wish you the best in your future endeavors and hope you will always call Issaquah Highlands “home.”

Additionally, this issue introduces the 2023–2024 Highlands Youth (HY) Advisory Board. This new crew is already starting to plan upcoming programming for children and families to enjoy!

We’re also excited to share the results of our 2023 community survey, which will help all our community entities prepare for the year ahead. Keep reading for important information from Highlands Fiber Network (HFN), Issaquah Police Department and more local resources.

Cheers to a happy, healthy and hot (but hopefully not too hot) summer in Issaquah Highlands!

This is our dog, Maisy, looking out onto the pond by Black Nugget Park. We were walking along the path admiring the beautiful evening and she stopped to stand up on the rock and soak it all in, too!
