Today's riddle: What do you call a belt that is made of watches? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• The 10 best glamping destinations in the U.S. for 2026 (qz.com) — Issaquah gets a national spotlight here thanks to Treehouse Point, a popular treehouse retreat tucked in second-growth forest along the Raging River just 30 minutes from Seattle. The piece explains what staying there is really like, from shared bathhouses and bring-your-own food to easy drives into Issaquah for groceries, restaurants, and nearby hikes like Tiger Mountain and Rattlesnake Ledge.
• Best private high schools in Washington (ncwlife.com) — Families in Issaquah will notice Brightmont Academy – Sammamish, located in Issaquah, ranked among Washington's top 25 private high schools, earning an A+ grade and highlighting its 1:1 student-teacher ratio. The statewide list also showcases other standout private schools across the Seattle area and beyond, giving parents a snapshot of competitive options if they're considering private education.
• Magnitude 4.2 earthquake strikes on Kitsap Peninsula, USGS reports (ground.news) — A magnitude 4.2 earthquake on the Kitsap Peninsula Tuesday afternoon was strong enough that residents from Issaquah down to Olympia reported feeling the jolt. While there was no tsunami risk and only brief shaking in our area, the event is a reminder that Issaquah sits in an active seismic region where even moderate quakes can be widely felt.
