A 100 unit multifamily apartment complex was included in the original plans for the neighborhood to provide for affordable housing. Most of the homes have been built on the flatter benches while the steeper slopes of the mountain have been retained for the permanent green spaces. Tree cutting is limited and restricted in the neighborhood in order to maintain the tree covered hillsides and screen the housing development from surrounding areas - in addition to maintaining the integrity and strength of the soil on the mountain side.
Cougar Mountain Zoo
Cougar Mountain Zoo is a zoological garden located on the north slope of Cougar Mountain west of Issaquah within Montreux. The small, local zoo began in 1972 and covers a little over 8 acres. The zoo houses several endangered species, including many endangered birds and small lemurs from Madagascar.
The zoo currently specializes in nine types of animals; cougars, lemurs, cranes, reindeer, macaws, wallabies, ratites, camelids and, most recently, Bengal tigers. In December of each year, the zoo offers a special Raindeer Festival where visitors can feed the reindeer and visit with Santa. Additional exhibits within the zoo include the Magnani Nature Gallery, the Wildlife Tracks Library as well as a gift shop.
