Tour guide for the Issaquah Highlands

Visited the Issaquah Highlands with Jen Graves, The Stranger art critic, this past week. 

Million dollar mansion under construction. Soon to be covered with a veneer of expensive materials. A few rows of large lots overlook the whole project and include views of Bellevue, Seattle, and the distant Olympic Mountains.

 Water retention pond as feature. Algae bloomed and barren. Two ducks chill by the edge.
 The railings are warped and twisting out of there brackets. Cheap pine perhaps 5 years old?
Under construction.
