- Succinctly capturing the essence of the valley’s early settlers, The Issaquah Press eloquently stated in their June 30, 1976 issue: “Pioneer families came seeking a good life, one of hard work, ingenious innovation, and endless days in order to survive.” And with that, Squak Valley went from wilderness to homestead.
He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
Psalm 145:19 KJV
