An Homage to Issaquah Highlands

By June 14, 2024HY Board

Please enjoy this poem about Issaquah Highlands, written by Park Drive resident Shaurya Behera:

Atop the hills and hit by the breeze

You’ll find a nice village surrounded by trees.

The views in the park offer great inspiration

The community is filled with much imagination.

The gardens are maintained and are plenty green

The surrounding water has a soft sheen.

The streets are safe.

The air is clean.

Nearly everywhere you look

Peace can be seen.

Yet as the sun begins its descent

The sounds of the people go silent.

In their place, the creatures make sound

The croaking frogs can be heard from all around.

For twenty-six years the community stands

And for many more it will in the Issaquah Highlands.
