Gordon Gross Abode
26033 SE 154th Street (look for the 26032 mailbox as our neighbor's blocks ours)
Issaquah, WA
(425) 313-3656

The Gordon Gross residence is only 3 turns from downtown (really--five if you go the alternate route) but if it makes you feel better, bring a compass.

Park out front or in the driveway across the street (those neighbors will be at the party too).

From the West:

Take I-90 West to Exit 15 (Rt 900) or Exit #17 (Front Street).

Exit 15 is the back way and has fewer lights and is about 2 miles longer. Exit 17 is the "less-country," better-lit way and has many lights. Depending on the night it can take the same amount of time, it is all a matter of your disposition. They both have very clear landmarks and turns.

Please note that maps aren't necessarily to scale or showing all roads and lights. However after Talus or SE 2nd Ave there are no more lights until you need to turn again.

Follow the blue blobs on the map (not as elegant as a yellow brick road but it should do). More details below and on the following map pages.

Exit 17 directions:

Stay right on the exit ramp and turn right (south) onto Front Street.

Do not stay in the right-most lane.

Immediately get in the middle lane so that you can go through the light at Gilman Blvd. instead of having to turn right onto Gilman.

After you get south of town (about 3 lights and you've passed the library and the Front Street Market), you will travel about 6 miles.

Continue Down Front Street (now called Issaquah-Hobart Road) through the next light (your first in a while) which is May Valley.

Pass the Tiger Mt. Country Store on your right and come to the next light (Cedar Grove Road).

Continue South for about a quarter mile past the Street of Dreams.

A sign and street lamp will mark the left turn lane onto SE Mirrormont Blvd.

Go up through the S-Turns (slowly) and turn right onto SE Mirromont Dr. as the road levels out. (if you miss this you'll find yourself on SE Mirrormont Way and, eventually on Tiger Mt. Road--see below for how to correct this).

Our house is just over a mile down this road which becomes SE 154th St.

We are in the middle of the last block at the bottom of the "U" (between two hills) It has a huge stain glass tree around the front door.

GOT LOST?

If you hit a dead end, you went about a half block too far, turn around.

If you hit Tiger Mountain Rd. you were a block off, turn around, take your first left and then your first right--we'll be about a half block down on your left.

From the North and the West

Take 405 South to I-90 East.

Take I-90 West to Exit #17 Front Street. Stay left on the exit ramp and turn left onto Front Street.

From the South

Take 405 North to exit 4. Take exit 4, staying left when the exit branches.
The off-ramp will force you onto a road that crosses back under the highway.

Turn right at the first light (2nd if you count the light at the end of the off-ramp).
Stay right and turn right at the next light--you will go up a very steep hill.

Follow this road (NE3 which turns into NE4 which turns into SE 128th) for about 10 miles.

About 3 miles past the Safeway shopping center the road will branch--stay left.
It goes down a steep hill and the speed limit decreases. (It can be tricky if it's wet or foggy.)

At the T there will be a blinking light--turn right onto May Valley.

Take May Valley about 3 miles until it T's into Issaquah-Hobart Road at a light. Turn right onto Issaquah-Hobart Road.

Pass the Tiger Mt. Country Store on your right and come to the next light (Cedar Grove Road).
