Margaret's Way and Debbie's View

Issaquah Alps

updated yesterday

As of June 27, 2026, Margaret's Way and Debbie's View on Squak Mountain are in good condition. The trail is clear of blowdowns and snow. Reports from May indicate wildflowers were abundant, with blooming bleeding hearts and trillium. A signpost for the second viewpoint was reported tipped over on June 26, but this has not been confirmed as an ongoing issue. Parking was plentiful in mid-May and late June, though it can be tight on weekends. The trail was closed for construction from May 26 to June 5.

Good condition the whole way. The signpost for the second view point has been tipped over, hopefully a trail crew can fix that pretty easily.
