‘Twas a Night in December:
A Downtown Issaquah Holiday Shopping Guide
By Krysten Carrera
‘Twas a night in December, in our lovely downtown
With twinkling bright lights and many a sound.
The poinsettias were hung on the lampposts with care
In hopes that some visitors soon would be there.
The sidewalks, they filled up with shoppers galore
Searching for gifts and glad to explore.
Some local, some visiting from both near and far
Some walking, some biking, some taking the car.
Issaquah happens to be perfect for presents
And holiday magic? We sure capture the essence.
Trek, Downhill Zone & Superior Seconds have gear
For the athletes among us, some seasonal cheer.
Treasures await at Out of the Box Eco-Store
