Grand Ridge Manor illuminated at night as misty fog rolls in
Last night I performed strolling and stand-up magic at The Grand Ridge in Issaquah. I visit a lot of different venues throughout the year, but this was a new one for me, and a nice surprise! It’s very close to I-90, but feels miles way. A gated entry and long paved drive leads to a secluded country estate overlooking acres of manicured grass, trees, water features, wetlands, and more.
Issaquah’s Grand Ridge shines as a wedding and event venue
Originally an equestrian estate, now the 36 acres is a full-time event and venue for special events. As I drove up I thought, “this must be really popular for wedding and receptions”, and yes – that is their forte. They also host corporate retreats, holiday parties, private events, and more.

St. Katherine Orthodox Church hosted me – and the fantastic band with my friends Alex, Denise, Glen, and company – for their fundraising campaign to build or buy a new building.

A huge thank you to Alex and Denise who have hired me for FIVE performances this past year and a half. (Check out what they did for Denise’s fabulous birthday party at their home in Issaquah.) It’s no wonder that they’ve earned the coveted distinction of Clients of the year!
