Attention Washington State Child Care Providers!

Across three-acres of farmland in Issaquah—featuring endless muddy puddles, trails, and towering trees—children ages 2-6 attending Forest Friends Preschool (FFP) learn about the boundless world around them through outside, imaginative play, featuring cows, sheep, and even alpacas.

Starting May 15, SR 18 near Echo Glen will be closed through May 21. Staff, contractors, and visitors should expect delays and additional travel time when making plans to go to Echo Glen during the closure.

During this time, the Department of Transportation (WSDOT) will have alternate routes marked by detour signs. 

For generations, American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian peoples have faced an ongoing crisis of violence. On Missing & Murdered Indigenous Persons (MMIP) Awareness Day, we honor the individuals missing and the lives lost. As an agency, we also commit to working with our tribal partners to address the policies and practices that have driven this crisis.
