What drives business in Issaquah

Costco Wholesale has been headquartered in Issaquah since 1996 and, under a 2014 agreement with the city, expanded its Pickering-area campus by 1.5 million square feet, tripling its footprint. Siemens Medical Solutions' Ultrasound Group, apparel wholesaler SanMar, Overtime Technologies, Boehm's Candies, and Darigold round out the employer base. In 2024 the largest industries by employment were Professional, Scientific & Technical Services, Retail Trade, and Health Care & Social Assistance.

The 2012 Central Issaquah Plan rezoned the city's commercial core, covering about 89 percent of Issaquah's commercially zoned land and encompassing roughly 13,000 employees across nine of the city's ten largest employers over 840 acres. That plan formalized Central Issaquah as the city's primary business district. Issaquah's economy traces back to nineteenth-century coal, lumber, hop-growing, and dairy industries, and later decades of Boeing-driven manufacturing employment, before its shift toward technology, retail, and professional services.

A workforce concentrated around Costco's headquarters campus and the Central Issaquah business district creates consistent demand for dentists, family lawyers, HVAC contractors, and home-service providers among relocating tech and corporate employees, while the 840-acre commercial core itself needs facilities maintenance, plumbing, and electrical trades to keep pace with continued build-out.
