Incorporated on August 31, 1999, Sammamish ranks as the 25th largest city in Washington State with a population of approximately 35,000. Nestled between Issaquah to the south, Redmond to the north, and rising from the eastern shores of Lake Sammamish, the City of Sammamish is beginning to take shape. This suburban community-which back in 1970 was home to only 6,000 people-retains its rural look and feel. Approximately 21 miles east of Seattle and covering about 21 square miles on the East Sammamish Plateau, the city is conveniently located within easy commuting and shopping distance to many larger cities including Bellevue, Renton and Seattle. All the Puget Sound region has to offer is only a short drive away.

More than 90% of all homes are owner occupied, and less than 1% of homes are for seasonal or recreational use. People choose to live in Sammamish because the tree-lined streets and well-groomed neighborhoods make it an ideal community in which to raise family. This probably accounts for the fact that Sammamish has the highest percentage of children under the age of 18 in King County. The Sammamish City Council has taken note of this and declared Sammamish a "kid-safe, family-friendly community." The area's children are well served by two distinguished districts within the city limits-the Lake Washington School District, accommodating the north end of the plateau, and the Issaquah School District at the southern end.

Sammamish is full of recreational potential including parks at Pine Lake and Beaver Lake, East Sammamish Park, and NE Sammamish Park. Plans are currently underway to build a skate park for the community's youth. The City has acquired several tracts of yet undeveloped property that will eventually provide additional recreation for its citizens. A recent waterfront property donation along Lake Sammamish promises another unique recreational opportunity. There are a number of other activities in the region from antique browsing, to white water rafting as well as many world-class golf courses such as Sahalee, which is hosting a PGA tournament in August 2002.
