Getting to the point of construction on 154 units next door to Issaquah Transit Center involved numerous hurdles city officials had to surmount. (Ryan Packer)The City of Issaquah and the King County Housing Authority broke ground last week on a transit-oriented development project that will bring 154 affordable homes next door to the Issaquah Transit Center. Trailhead Apartments, as the project is now called, is set to open its doors to new residents in 2028. In addition, 10,000 square feet on Trailhead's ground floor will be owned by the City of Issaquah as a human services center. The Trailhead project includes 154 units of affordable housing, along with 10,000 square feet of city-owned space on the ground floor that will be used to provide services.
