The job fair is from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Issaquah (1801 12th Ave. NW) and will be looking to hire for positions such as certified nursing assistants, wellness nurses, concierge, and housekeeping.

The living center, when it opens in April will be an expansion of the company’s over 320 communities across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. The Issaquah location will mark Sunrise’s ninth location in Washington state.
