Issaquah is underrated, change my mind

So, Crime rate is something to consider -Issaquah sits at 49.2 per 100K. Household incomes average around $153,786 in Issaquah. It's a a smaller city city with about 39,472 people. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The weather takes some getting used to.

Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Great weather
- Close to nature
- Easy commute
- Good healthcare facilities

Cons:
- Not very walkable
- Limited dining options
- Poor road conditions
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Not enough green space
The weather takes some getting used to. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The city has invested a lot in new development. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

Used to live on the Riverside side, now on the Cedar Grove side. Completely different vibe. I have mixed feelings honestly.
