ISSAQUAH, WA, March 22, 2022 - Historically Hip Downtown Issaquah embraces Spring – specifically the annual Flowers on Front, Farm Fresh and Fresh Flower Markets, and Keep Issaquah Beautiful Day. Every year the Issaquah community looks forward to these rites of Spring. Equinox is a beginning – and in Issaquah the season is a centerpiece of fresh produce, floral beauty, community involvement and vibrancy in Downtown Issaquah.


Flowers on Front
From spring late into fall, Downtown Issaquah light poles are adorned with stunning flower baskets grown by https://squakmtnursery.com/

Each year, the Downtown Issaquah Association campaigns for donations for the baskets and maintenance. People donate the spectacular blooms in honor of their mother for Mother’s Day, or another special person. Some do so just to drape their town in gorgeousness. Of course, the flower baskets could not flourish without committed volunteers. Last year, they hung and removed 55 baskets, which can weigh up to 100 pounds each!  At $50 or more, donors may request a card for a loved one conveying that the basket is hung in their honor. Donations need to be in by April 29, in time for Mother’s Day. Donations are tax deductible.

Please join us in making a donation today. Flowers on Front - Basket Order Form
