About the event
The second episode in our multi-episode series, here we take a closer look at three families who played significant roles in Issaquah's early years.
The Pickerings, whose barn still stands today and is perhaps the most enduring artifact of our agricultural beginnings;
The Sylvestors, a father and son whose humble beginnings as Issaquah's third Station Agent preceded the financial force they were to become and whose legacy retains a strong presence even today; and
The brothers Gibson and their families who civil leanings and strong character impacted the lives of many throughout the greater Issaquah area, and whose living legacy includes the majestic Ginkgo tree that stands on the east side of Front St. just south of Sunset Way.
