The Japanese American Citizen’s League (JACL), the oldest and largest Asian American civil and human rights organization in the nation, is offended by the racial remarks made by Dr. Roger Stark, a retired surgeon and former Republican candidate for the Washington state Legislature.
Sometimes little heralded, arcane votes in Congress affect people’s lives and livelihoods more than the ones that are easier to report.
As most of you are aware the city council elections are fast approaching with mail in ballots arriving in mid October.
Thank you for Jake Lynch’s excellent article (“Issaquah in line for light rail,” Issaquah Reporter, Aug. 14, 2009.)
Ten years ago, when the city of Sammamish was created, one of the biggest concerns of our city fathers at the time was to find a way to manage the intense growth that the King County had determined would come to this area. And they did their job well.
I found C.A. Christensen’s recent letter to the editor regarding city council candidate Nathan Perea unfounded.

The signs have started going up around the city, and grown men and women are wearing badges and waving flags. It’s only July but the campaigning has begun in earnest for seats on the city councils in both Issaquah and Sammamish.
