In what is now Sammamish, settlers began making tentative inroads onto the Plateau in the 1870s and 1880s, according to the Sammamish Heritage Society. By the 1890s, logging was becoming a major industry in this area, and by the 1930s, most of the area was “logged out.” The southern half of the Plateau, particularly the area near Pine Lake, developed more quickly than the northern half.

By the late 1930s no less than three resorts were operating on Pine Lake and Beaver Lake.

Jump ahead to the mid-1980s and dramatically accelerated growth as more homes, schools, and shopping centers were built. Then, on Nov. 3, 1998, local voters approved incorporation and Sammamish officially became a city at midnight on Aug. 31, 1999.

Today, Sammamish has its own symphony, three high schools, and has been host to two PGA golf tournaments at the Sahalee Country Club. Homes in the city are some of the most desirable in the region.

The Great Seattle fire of 1889 created a demand for mills and led to the birth of logging in Sammamish and the mill town of Monohon. COURTESY PHOTO

Thank you for calling Issaquah home.

Issaquah features a variety of housing styles, from turn-of-the20th-century homes to compact, modern, urban development.

To preserve our existing neighborhoods and treasured open space, we spearheaded the creation of two urban villages. These compact, pedestrianfriendly communities allowed us to grow while protecting our century-old character.

Meanwhile, the influx of new residents during the past few decades — many of them from around the globe — has enriched our community’s cultural fabric and diversity.

Boosting Issaquah’s popularity, the Issaquah School District is consistently ranked among the top public school districts in Washington State.

Students routinely outperform state averages on educational assessments, and the district’s high schools have a near-perfect graduation rate.

No matter your interest, there’s also plenty to see and do in Issaquah.

Historic Olde Town includes the 75-year-old Issaquah Salmon Hatchery — the centerpiece of our Salmon Days Festival each October — the alpine chalet of Boehm’s Candies chocolate factory and one of two remaining Triple XXX Root Beer Drive-ins in the United States.

Issaquah features a popular Saturday Farmers Market, a wine walk that attracts thousands, live theater performances at the nationallyrecognized Village Theatre, a seasonal ArtWalk, as well as free concerts and Shakespeare performances in the heart of historic downtown.

Opportunities for outdoor recreation include paragliding from Poo Poo Point — 1,650 feet off of Tiger Mountain; kayaking, boating, swimming and fishing on Lake Sammamish; hiking in the verdant forests of the Issaquah Alps; biking along the East Lake Sammamish Trail; world-class mountain biking at Duthie Hill; and exploring Issaquah’s hundreds of acres of parks and open space.

Issaquah is a great place to live, work, play and learn, all with spectacular views of Mount Rainier and the Cascade Mountains. Welcome home to Trailhead City.

Sincerely, Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler

RESIDENTS GUIDE 2014 • ISSAQUAH & SAMMAMISH

Dear residents, Sammamish is 15-yearsold this year. It seems like a long time, but we are still a very new city. Over that time, so much has happened and so much has changed, as evident in this guide.

We have great schools, and a wonderful library. New parks to go along with the ones we inherited from King County, and sports fields for youth and adult sports.

We’ve built trails and preserved open space. We built a city commons that hosts our July 4th celebration, Sammamish Days and Nights, and so many other fun events – with a new community and aquatic center to open in early 2016.

What I find more exciting is the human capital that is so evident in our city these days.

-- Our service groups, such as Kiwanis, Rotary and the Sammamish Chamber of Commerce, that do so much good in the community while also providing major events and entertainment for everyone.

-- Students who work hard in the city and the region to take on projects to make life better for those who are struggling.

-- The school foundations and PTSAs that work so hard to keep our schools great.

-- The nonprofits and faith communities that work to help youth, families, seniors and those in our region who are hungry or homeless.

Yes, we are still a new city, with many growing pains. However I’m proud that such a new city should also be called one of the safest in the state and the nation, and at the same time one of the friendliest cities, and among the best places to live.

I’m proud of what we have accomplished and what we have become over our short history; I hope you are too.

Sincerely, Sammamish Mayor Tom Vance

The celebration itself is a festival that includes over 300 artists and crafters, many featuring salmon-related arts, a fun children’s area, a grand parade, foods of the world, entertainment on five stages, a Kiwanis salmon barbecue, a Rotary 5/10K run and 60 local nonprofit and service organizations.

KLAHANIE PAA NEIGHBORHOODS

Map

Klahanie, now an island in unincorporated King County, could soon become a part of Sammamish. If things go according to plan, residents of Klahanie will make their decision during the 2015 election.

The effort follows an earlier attempt when Klahanie residents voted "no" to joining Issaquah. Now the city of Sammamish, in cooperation with Issaquah and King County, is taking the necessary steps to give Klahanie residents a chance to join the city.

Here are the steps, some of which have already been taken, that would lead to an annexation vote: Issaquah and Sammamish sign an inter-local agreement to transfer the Klahanie area from Issaquah’s Proposed Annexation Area to Sammamish’s PAA. The King County Growth Management Planning Council expresses support for the transfer.

By the end of 2014, Sammamish, Issaquah and King County will make appropriate changes to their comprehensive plans so the transfer of the PAA can be accommodated.

After the King County Council approves its revised comprehensive plan, portions of the plan must be

ratified by the cities of King County.

After ratification by the cities, Sammamish applies to the Boundary Review Board (BRB) for approval of the annexation. If everything stays on schedule, the board could approve the proposal in early 2015.

Assuming approval by the board, the Sammamish City Council sets an election date for voters in the Klahanie annexation area. Potential election dates are: Feb. 3, March 10, April 28, May 19, Aug. 4 and Nov. 3.

If a simple majority votes in favor of annexation, the Sammamish City Council will pass an ordinance setting an effective date for the annexation of the Klahanie area into Sammamish.

During the period of time between passage of the ordinance and the effective date of annexation, the city initiates a fiscal review with King County, negotiates the transfer of county assets (parks, roads and storm water infrastructure), negotiates the transfer of services (building permitting, etc.), and arranges for the transfer of county funds, if any.

On the effective date of annexation, residents of the Klahanie area become residents of Sammamish.

Issaquah Highlands

– a brief history More than 20 years after groundbreaking, Issaquah Highlands is the largest “Built Green” community in the Pacific Northwest.

When it was first conceived in the 1990s, its 2,200 acres were mostly forested, but also partly mined. It was called Grand Ridge, a summit in the venerable Issaquah Alps. Part of King County, it was destined to be fully developed as single-family homes on five-acre lots.

Instead, the land owner, Port Blakely Communities, teamed with the city of Issaquah and King County in 1996 to condense the development onto 20 percent of its space, creating an “urban village.” The rest was dedicated to open space and

parks.

The largest green swatch is King County’s Grand Ridge Park.

Formed in 2001, its 1,200 acres stretch from Central Park all the way to Duthie Hill Mountain Bike Park. This is just one of the 22 parks in Issaquah Highlands.

Besides the green of parks, Issaquah Highlands also prides itself on its “Built Green” legacy.

Port Blakely partnered with the Master Builders Association to create the sustainability standard, then required all its builders to follow it. Each home in Issaquah Highlands is built to the highest “Built Green” standard available at the time.

Commercial and public buildings in Issaquah Highlands also are built to high standards of sustainability.

Fire Station 73 was the first station in the country to achieve a LEED Silver Certification.

Blakely Hall, Grand Ridge Plaza, and the Safeway store are all Certified LEED Silver. The YWCA

Before becoming chief, Elledge was the commander of the King County Sheriff 's Nate Elledge Sammamish Chief of Police Office 9-1-1 center in Renton and also served as a patrol officer, a detective sergeant on the Green River Task Force, and a captain in Maple Valley’s Precinct Three.

Like several other cities, Sammamish contracts for police services with the King County Sheriff 's Office.

At the time of his selection, Elledge told the Reporter he really wanted the job.

"The city has a low crime rate, and the police department gets a lot of support from both the city staff and the community. We have excellent officers here and a supportive community, so we’re planning on continued success.”

Elledge added that he loves "interacting with the community.

Whether it’s residents, school officials, business people or my fellow employees, I look forward to talking, listening and solving problems.”

Residents should call 9-1-1 to report emergency and in-progress events.

For non-emergency dispatch call 206-296-3311.

The Greater Issaquah Chamber of Commerce is business resource, economic development and advocacy organization representing over 500 local and regional member-businesses and their 50,000 employees.

The chamber works yearround to promote member businesses, support the local economy, represent business to government, provide networking opportunities and promote the Issaquah community. In all, nearly 50 networking, business development and community advancement/celebration programs are held each year.

The chamber produces the award winning annual Salmon Days Festival which has an estimated $7.5 million economic impact to the Issaquah community. The organization also manages the Issaquah Visitor Information Center.

was founded 20 years ago and has been working since then to improve the city’s downtown.

Over the years, the association has helped restore historic buildings including the Alexander House, which is currently used by the Chamber of Commerce, and the historic Shell Station on Front Street, which the association calls home.

The organization’s mission is to promote and enhance the vitality of downtown through programs and events.

The DIA promotes downtown and its community assets by marketing everything going on downtown through weekly e-blasts, website and social media. It also works with many partners including nonprofits, the city of Issaquah, the Chamber of Commerce and the downtown merchants.

The DIA promotes downtown by producing more than 17 events that attract people from throughout the region.

Among them are four Wine Walks and four ArtWalks, from February through September. In April, DIA partners with Kiwanis to Keep Issaquah Beautiful with a community clean-up day.

In June on Father’s Day, the “Fenders on Front Street” classic car show takes over downtown and Issaquah “Make Music Day,” part of International Music Day, is celebrated June 21.

You’ll find zombies throughout downtown in October with Zombie Walk. And just this past year, the downtown association partnered with the Issaquah Historical Museums on two historic pub crawls.

The DIA also works with other neighborhoods to better connect the community. For “Shop Local” last November, a trolley brought shoppers around town. The association closes out the holiday season with caroling at the depot.

In addition to producing events, the association is busy with downtown improvements by working closely with the city on issues that affect downtown. The association raises money for the flower baskets that adorn downtown in the summer.

School District Education vital to a well-functioning society I believe that an educated population is the cornerstone of a participatory and well-functioning, democratic society. To that end, the Issaquah School District has a direct role in shaping the future locally, nationally and internationally.

Our mission is to graduate our students prepared for and eager to accept the academic, occupational, personal and practical challenges of life in a dynamic global environment.

It’s an enormous responsibility, and reflects the high value our community places on education.

We dedicate ourselves every day to creating the best learning experience possible to prepare our students for each level of their education, including post high school. We work to provide a rigorous academic program that meets the individual needs of students from our most highly capable to our most challenged. We do this by recruiting, hiring and training outstanding teachers and equipping them with the very best curricular materials, technological supports professional development and state of the art learning environments.

In addition to outstanding teachers, we have high quality staff at every level who genuinely care about the success of our students academically and socially. Our principals, educational assistants, secretaries, transportation, maintenance and food service personnel are all committed to creating a culture throughout the

district that promotes kindness and acceptance.

There are as many paths post high school as there are students. Ideally an Issaquah School District student graduates with a strong sense of self-worth and the strength to search out and find their own paths to happiness. As superintendent, nothing pleases me more than when I hear stories of our graduates succeeding and living happy, productive lives. That is truly what the Issaquah School District – and our community – stands for, and how together we contribute to a better, healthier and stronger society.

Issaquah Schools The Issaquah School District is the 15th largest district in the state with more than 18,000 students. There are 15 elementary schools, five middle schools, three comprehensive high schools, and alternative high school are spread among 110 square miles in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. The district also runs the educational program at the state’s Echo Glen Children’s Center in Snoqualmie. The district serves an area from the valley floor, south into

Renton and east to the Sammamish and Highlands areas.

LAKE WASHINGTON

School District LWSD prepares students for the future The Lake Washington School District’s mission and vision focus on graduating “future ready” students who are prepared for college, the global workplace and personal success.

The district’s 26,000 students consistently meet and exceed standards on state assessments.

In 2014, 25 of the district’s schools earned Washington Achievement Awards, including 17 for Overall Excellence.

Values and strategic goals guide the district’s work. We are a student-centered, learning-focused, community-connected, and results-oriented school district. The district’s five strategic goals align with these values.

Every student should learn, grow, and be challenged to do their best every day. This goal involves providing rigorous curriculum and high-quality learning programs for all students. For example, the district adopted a new grades K-6 literacy curriculum this past year.

Students deserve to experience safe and innovative learning environments, including access to robust technology. Thanks to voter-approved levy funding, the district provides a laptop

computer to all middle and high school students. Students use their device in class and at home.

High quality teaching is key to student learning. The district’s New Teacher Support Program provides training and mentoring to teachers in their first years. Expanded professional development efforts address the goal to recruit, hire, and retain highly effective personnel.

As a public agency, the district must use resources effectively and be good stewards of public resources. For the fifth straight year, the district had no findings from the state auditor on the district’s financial audit report.

Without genuine community engagement, the district cannot achieve its goals. Parents and community members are regularly involved in committees and decision-making processes that guide district work.

The Lake Washington School District is honored to serve

students in Sammamish, Kirkland and Redmond.
