When is Issaquah not Issaquah? When it's 12SAQUAH. Yes, in honor of the Seattle Seahawks and The 12th Man, the Seattle suburb will officially change the its name to 12SAQUAH on Super Bowl Sunday. We're still trying to figure out the correct pronunciation ("Twelve-se-qwa?") before we can even consider similar changes in the area. 12vue? 12coma? 12attle?
