High Point is an unincorporated community in King County, in the U.S. state of Washington.[1]

High Point, on the eastern fringe of Issaquah, is named for its location at the highest point on a railroad grade.[2] Once the location of a significant lumber mill and railway station,[3][2] it is now only a small collection of houses on large lots along I-90 at the "High Point Way" exit, and a Tiger Mountain trailhead.
