Issaquah, WA

The Vale Apartments is the newest community in Issaquah, Washington just west of Gilman Village. Sited adjacent to the Juniper Trail south of Issaquah Commons, the Vale is uniquely situated within walking distance to work, play, shopping and entertainment options. Residents will enjoy the benefits of being adjacent to the multimodal Juniper Trail and being a five-minute ride to the Issaquah Park and Ride as well, encouraging sustainable commuting options for all. The building design reflects the long, linear nature of the site with ground level loft units and private patios as well as large open space flanking the Trail. Residents have access to multiple outdoor decks as well as a large rooftop garden, named for Eyrlis, the site’s longstanding landowner in homage to her green thumb. The Vale places a premium on energy efficiency and sustainability and encourages tenant participation by providing biodegradable dish soap and other simple environmentally-friendly products for residents. The project is targeting certification to National Green Building Standards.
