IHCA Prepares for Fall, Winter Weather

By November 15, 2023Connections, IHCA

Please use extreme caution when driving through the community. The crews are in full leaf clean-up mode. You may see leaf piles in the streets. The crews will blow leaves into piles and then come around later in the day to vacuum them up. Please do not park in the leaf piles. After leaf cleanup, we will switch to tree and planting replacements (and add bark where planned).  

Snow patrol crews are preparing for winter weather, and we are ready for the winter storms. As a reminder: during an extreme weather event, service may be delayed until we can get to the affected areas. Plan ahead and use caution after major storms when driving and walking through the community. Purchase a shovel and ice melt for your sidewalks and driveway. 

Need additional help?  

  • If city roads are blocked by debris, call the City of Issaquah’s non-emergency number at 425-837-3200 or 911.
  • The IHCA after-hours emergency number is 425-223-8887.
  • For downed power lines, call Puget Sound Energy (PSE) at 1-800-436-7734.
  • Don’t forget about your neighbors and stay vigilant for those who may need assistance during an extreme weather event.  

The holiday lighting is currently being installed by our third-party vendor, Dasher Lights. The lights will remain on through the winter months and will be turned off and removed around mid- February.  To report a concern about the lighting, please contact IHCA via email or call our main office at 425-427-9257 on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The IHCA office will close on Friday, Nov. 17, for a holiday luncheon in appreciation for our staff. Additionally, Blakely Hall (including Highlands Council and Highlands Fiber Network) as well as the IHCA office will close Nov. 23 & 24 for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Sarah Hoey is executive director of the IHCA.
