The big event each year that the city of Issaquah puts on is the annual Salmon Festival, celebrating the salmon returning to the rivers to spawn. Downtown Issaquah is closed down to cars and they set up tons of art booths, entertainment, kids play stuff, a salmon bake and have docents walking around talking about salmon. We went last year with Evie and she'll tell you she had a great time but truthfully, all she remembers is that she got a balloon and that we had to park in a big parking structure and wait forever to take the shuttle to the festival.
This year, we decided to forego the shuttle (too hard with a baby) and parked close by instead. We got Evie a balloon again, and she was also able to do a lot more of the kid activities too - like getting her face painted! She calls it a face tattoo and was so excited about having it on her face. She would stop and ask "is my tattoo still on?" every 5 minutes. I think we'll definitely have to do this again next year!

Oooh, my opto friend who lives in Seattle was at the same festival! Looks like it was fun!
