| 释义 |
High Point, on the eastern fringe of Issaquah, is named for its location at the highest point on a railroad grade. [2] Once the location of a significant lumber mill [3] and railway station [2], it is now only a small collection of houses on large lots along I-90 at the "High Point Way" exit, and a Tiger Mountain trailhead. HistoryHigh Point was founded by Jason Lovegreen in 1905, [2] and a post office was established in 1910, which operated until its closure in 1943. [3] A lumber mill once existed at High Point, which employed 52 workers in 1913.[4] Many of the state-owned timberlands near High Point continue to produce logs for mills elsewhere to this day, while also being open for recreational use.[5] Modern DayHigh Point was the location of Tent City 4 beginning in early 2016, while the camp was awaiting a permit to move to Bellevue.[6] Today, High Point consists of a small collection of houses, state forest access roads and a Tiger Mountain trailhead at a minor exit on Interstate 90 east of Issaquah.
