In eighth grade, the students in Ilmenau (and I suppose, all of Germany) learn about a town called Issaquah, Washington.
A few facts about Issaquah, from the Green Line textbook:
- Only 8,000 people live in Issaquah but many more live outside, quite close to town.
- There are 53,000 people in the Issaquah School District.
- There are 200 miles of hiking trails in the forests around Issaquah.
- Lake Sammamish State Park is ideal for swimming and other water sports, and picnics too.
- And if you want to ski, there's the Snoqualmie Pass Ski Area just 40 minutes from Issaquah.
But why, you may ask, as I did, why would anyone want to learn about Issaquah? Why pick this town?
Because --- Issaquah is where Twin Peaks was filmed!!! My new obsession - Twin Peaks - was filmed in Issaquah!! No WONDER they learn about Issaquah! It also explains why all the teachers here have heard of Twin Peaks even though I had never heard of it before.

Issaquah? I don't know where that is but its on my list for the next trip. Twin Peaks was a must see TV. I'll ask the folks in WA to scout it out. Maybe Tom can send you an Issaquah T shirt.
Good words.
