‘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

You’re sure to find something you truly adore.

 

Choose gorgeous and relaxed with a treatment or three

At Mint, Pelage, Glamour, Troy or Spa Chi.

 

Need more inspiration? Want beautiful art?

The works at Art by Fire will capture your heart.

 

Boehm’s Candies, Experience Tea, Sea Town & Fischer Meats

Offer a variety of fun local treats.

 

Charming Capri Cellars is always a good time

And for gifts, you can never go wrong with wine.

 

So many more of us are traveling, it seems

AAA travel can help with our bucket list dreams.

 

For the outdoorsy among us, check out The Grange

Farm supplies, plants, it’s got a huge range.


Handmade in Issaquah, you’ll find in So, There

Distinctive designs that are perfect to share.

 

Historic Shell Holiday Shop: it’s our yearly tradition

For cute local crafts, come make your decision.

 

Village Theater, Big Picture, a touch of fine art

A gift card for a show would be ever so smart.

 

And just opened this year, did you hear the news?

An assortment awaits at a store called Chick’s Shoes.

 

Holiday presents, we’ve got that on lock

Especially now that more goods are in stock.

 

So come find a gift to spark cheer and delight

Season’s greetings to all, and to all, a good night.
