‘We just had to be a little creative’: Issaquah mayor boasts $40M savings from city hall plans

Issaquah Mayor Mark Mullet announced the city will purchase an existing building for city hall instead of constructing a new one, saving roughly $40 million. The deal includes a creative arrangement allowing the building’s owner to maintain a family office in the basement for seven years. While Issaquah is a neighboring city in King County, this decision has no direct impact on Burien.
