The news that Costco Wholesale wants to expand its headquarters in Issaquah is testimony both to the strength of the company and the amenities and benefits available in and around the city. We’re not surprised Chamber of Commerce officials and others have stepped up to champion the company’s proposal.

Few companies have such a loyal following worldwide as Costco. At what other company are people so eager to pay just to shop in its stores?

Costco’s home brand may be named Kirkland, but it’s obvious where its heart lies. We love it right back.
