On February 6 and 7, 2020, a large rainfall event occurred in the region, mobilizing a small landslide on King County Parks property adjacent to Newport Way NW. The slide spilled onto the roadway and resulted in the shutdown of a section of Newport Way NW for roughly one week. City, County, and Puget Sound Energy (PSE) crews responded to temporarily stabilize the slide for the short-term.

In 2006 the City of Issaquah entered an Interlocal Agreement with King County to manage and regulate the licensing of For-Hire Transportation—drivers and vehicles. For-hire transportation presents unique licensing and law enforcement issues due to its multijurisdictional nature. This agreement provided King County the authority to regulate the business of operating taxicabs, transportation network company vehicle endorsements, and other for-hire transportation providers by taking a regional approach. King County provides regulation of the for-hire transportation industry by providing regulatory services for 16 cities and the Port of Seattle at SeaTac International Airport. This ILA automatically renews each year unless terminated in writing by either party.

City Hall Northwest, located at 1775 12th Ave NW, was purchased in 1990 to support the Planning and Public Works Departments. In 2020, the building was closed to most staff due to the cost of upkeep, poor condition, and remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Significant capital reinvestment is required to restore the building condition, and the building layout is not functional for providing City services.

In 2017, the City adopted a MFTE program pursuant to Chapter 84.14 RCW, allowing for special valuation of eligible improvements associated with multifamily housing in areas designated by the City Council as "residential targeted areas," for the purpose of increasing residential opportunities for affordable housing. The program is codified at Chapter 3.09 IMC. Currently, the City has established two residential targeted areas, the Tibbetts Valley Transit-Oriented Development Targeted Area and the Issaquah Highlands High Street Collection Residential Targeted Area.
