Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park would like to thank the Greater Issaquah Chamber of Commerce for holding a meet-and-greet and fundraiser in support of the all-access playground at Sunset Beach at the state park on Oct. 22.

It is heartwarming and encouraging to have the local business community rally around this wonderful community project that the friends group is gathering funding for.

The $1,900 raised as a function of this event contributes meaningfully to the $1 million goal. We are now more than 80 percent of the way there.

We’d like to encourage community members to learn more and donate at www.Playground4All.com.

– Janet Farness, Executive Director, Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park
