The Building
The Issaquah Depot is an 1889 depot originally constructed for the Seattle Lake Shore & Eastern Railroad. Between 1983 and 1992, the Depot was lovingly restored by a group of volunteers from the Issaquah History Museums. Today, the Depot serves as a local history museum. It’s freight room is available for rental, and will provide an historic setting for your next special event.
Located on the south end of the building, this room boasts the original wood flooring. If you look carefully at the walls, you can also see the lumber stamp “Geo. W. Tibbetts & Co. Squak Valley.” The room also features a mural depicting the town’s early history. Outside, a vintage caboose and other railroad cars are on display. For an additional fee, we can arrange a guided tour of the facility for you and your guests.
