ISSAQUAH, WA — Issaquah dog lovers rejoice! According to Money.com, the city is one of the best places to live and own man's best friend.

In fact, the digital publication ranks Issaquah as the No. 6 best place to live for dog lovers.

In the city limits, about 92 percent of Issaquah’s population lives within a 10-minute walk of a park, and the town is home to at least 15 pet-friendly restaurants on pet travel site BringFido.

The weather in Issaquah stays moderate, with only 43 degrees difference between summer highs and winter lows, so dogs don’t need to recalibrate every season. And Washington’s state parks allow dogs (as long as they’re on a leash), which makes it that much more enviable to live here. The town is hugged by Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park, Squak Mountain State Park, and Tiger Mountain State Forest, providing over 200 miles of trails between them.

And to the north, Lake Sammamish State Park allows dogs on most of its 530 acres of picnic sites and campgrounds, overlooking a scenic body of water.

Which city came in No. 1? That honor goes to Wheat Ridge, Colorado.
