Nonresident Fees
Fair Play in Community Sports
Participants who live outside of Issaquah’s city limits can
expect to pay about 20 percent more than residents for certain
parks and recreation programs.
The City of Issaquah complies with the State of Washington’s
Fair Play in Community Sports Act (Chapter 467, 2009 Laws,
effective date July 26, 2009) that prohibits discrimination
against any person in a community athletics program on the
basis of sex.
The nonresident rate ensures that families living outside of

residents who pay City taxes.
