The vote is ‘no’

This past fall, both Sammamish and Issaquah were meeting in council and talking to the community regarding their positions on annexation of the whole of the Klahanie PAA. The Issaquah City Council made a promise to release the PAA to Sammamish if the Annexation vote in February were "no." Well, the residents of the PAA have voted, and the vote was "no." The democratic process is complete.

This past fall, both Sammamish and Issaquah were meeting in council and talking to the community regarding their positions on annexation of the whole of the Klahanie PAA. The Issaquah City Council made a promise to release the PAA to Sammamish if the Annexation vote in February were “no.”

Well, the residents of the PAA have voted, and the vote was “no.” The democratic process is complete.

Now it is time for Issaquah and the King County Boundary Review Board to release the Klahanie PAA, in whole, to the city of Sammamish.

Sammamish is eager to begin the annexation process and we, the residents of the PAA,need to move on and see this issue of annexation finally resolved.

Just looking at the map, a grade-school child will tell you which city the PAA should belong to.

We are not children. All the questions have been answered.

We chooseSammamish.

It is time for Issaquah to release the whole Klahanie Proposed Annexation Area to the city of Sammamish.
