Port Blakely Hall Community Center

Drive through Issaquah Highlands on the top of the hour, and you’re sure to hear Blakely Hall’s clock tower marking the time with its charming bells. The campanile is part of the 7,000-square-foot community center, which serves as a gathering space for community events, programs, and meetings.

Much of Issaquah Highlands active social calendar takes place at Blakely Hall. For men, there’s Guys Night Out, with a friendly game of poker. Enthusiasts of bunco meet regularly for a round or two of the centuries old dice game. And members of the Saturday morning investment club meet over coffee to discuss investing in stocks, bonds and mutual funds.

Additional clubs and groups meet at the Fire House meeting room or the New Home Info Center, including a book club, playgroups for infants, toddlers and preschool age children, middle school and high school youth groups, and an Issaquah Highlands Scrapbooking Club.

Here residents become acquainted with the many activities and services that are part of the Issaquah Highlands community.

Originally not part of Issaquah Highlands development plan, Port Blakely Communities answered residents’ desires for a central, dedicated gathering space by donating more than $2 million in land and construction costs to complete Blakely Hall. The building is also LEED® certified, meeting rigorous standards for energy efficiency and environmental sensitivity established by the U.S. Green Building Council, and upholding Port Blakely Communities’ dedication to environmental stewardship.
