Hailstone Food and Gas store, Issaquah, Washington, USA . Today the City of Issaquah owns the Hailstone Feed Store building. The Downtown Issaquah Association (DIA) restored it to its 1944 appearance. The building is now used as DIA's main office, gift store and museum. One of the most exciting discoveries the group has made is an Owl Cigar sign painted on the back of the building. The advertisement would have been easily visible to passengers taking the train in or out of Issaquah, the chief mode of transportation at that time. It was probably applied during the time that Nicholas Burke owned the building. Issaquah (pronounced /ˈɪsəkwɑː/, us dict: ĭs′·ə·kwâ) is a city in King County, Washington, United States.
