Trolley volunteers needed: Drivers, conductors, mechanics, and more

Help us get the Issaquah Valley Trolley rolling from the platforms of the historic Issaquah Depot Museum once again! Our gleaming red trolley was built in 1925 for the streetcar system in Lisbon, Portugal, and acquired by the Issaquah History Museums in 2003, then regauged and restored to work with our own 1889 railroad tracks. It carried passengers from 2012 until 2020, when the pandemic and other factors conspired to put it out of service.

This is a general interest pool for volunteers who want to be involved with the trolley. Some of the roles we'll need include:

• Trolley drivers
• Conductors and storytellers
• Mechanics
• Special event support
• Marketing and communications

In your notes section, please specify what role(s) interest you, what your weekly availability is, and/or what skills you can bring!
