What a weekend on Front Street!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for another unforgettable AlFresco Weekend : celebrating community, summer, and all the creativity that makes Downtown Issaquah shine.

From tap class and line dancing to lasso tricks, mini golf, foam‑party jumps, bubble‑catching, supporting local artists, drummers and cheering on Africa Fashion Week… the street was filled with so many smiles, so much joy, and endless movement.

Your energy brings this place to life every weekend. One more AlFresco weekend to go! Hope to see you there.

Six years later… this place still feels like my little ritual.

I’ve been coming to Experience Tea Studio for six years now, and it still gives me that same grounding feeling every time I walk in.
The shelves of teas, the calm energy, the way the team always helps me discover something new ; it’s become one of my favorite Olde Town habits.

I filmed a tiny moment of my visit today because this place really is a gem. Whether you’re just starting your tea journey or already have your go‑to blends, the Experience Tea Studio makes it feel personal, welcoming, and fun.

If you haven’t been yet, treat yourself to a visit. You might walk out with a new favorite… I always do.
