Issaquah Valley Trolley

The borrowed streetcar had arrived in Issaquah in October 2000,[3] and began carrying passengers on May 19, 2001, with the service operating on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. through the summer[4] and again in spring 2002.

IVT sometimes refers to it as the "display building", because glass windows on its west side allow the public to see the trolley car inside.

In autumn 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Issaquah History Museums announced that it had decided to discontinue operation of the streetcar permanently, citing increasing insurance costs and other factors that had raised the cost of operation, in combination with cuts to the organization's financial resources.

[14] Public service began on October 14, 2012, with initial hours of operation scheduled for weekends from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. until sometime in November.

[11] The section of railroad line brought into use for rides at that time was about one-half-mile (0.80 km) long, stopping just before the bridge over the East Fork of Issaquah Creek.

The extended line came into use at the beginning of the 2016 season, on May 7,[15] making the overall length of usable track about 0.6 miles (1 km) long.

The trolley towed a generator car to supply its traction motors with electricity, rather than receiving power from overhead wires.
