Geocache Description:

If you've ever been to Issaquah you know exactly where this is. The cache is easy to get too but the area is always busy. Please be discreet.


Issaquah's dairy plant has operated continuously since 1909, when it was opened as the "Northwestern Milk Condensing Company" by a group of local businessmen looking for an outlet for the area's dairy farms.


Early activities included condensing milk, manufacturing butter, making ice, and canning fruit and vegetables -- all for the Seattle market. Later known as the Issaquah Creamery and then the Alpine Dairy, the plant was Issaquah's largest employer at the time it became part of the Darigold Cooperative in the early 1960's. As dairy plants in other towns were closed, Issaquah's plant expanded and took over butter production for the whole area in 1970. Today, in addition to butter, it produces all the Darigold yogurt sold in Washington, Oregon and Idaho.
