Parking issue arises downtown

The Issaquah Middle School parking lot is being repaved during the months of July and August and as such will be closed.

Pool patrons are now using the spaces at the Community Center and on street adjacent neighborhood parking.

Those students who are attending Tiger Mountain summer school, which is held at the middle school, are advised to park at the high school and walk to the middle school.

All the parking spaces from the Community Center north to City Hall are filled during the days as court is held at City Hall South.
