Santa Claus made an early appearance in Sammamish on the morning of Saturday, Dec. 5.

It took the combined efforts of the Skyline and Eastlake High School Key Clubs and the Kiwanis Clubs of Sammamish and Providence Point to get Santa here for breakfast at the Good Samaritan Episcopal Church. Safeway, QFC and Costco donated food, and Rita Walsh’s piano pupils provided music.

“This isn’t a money raising event. It’s strictly a community event for families,” said event chair Kathy Huckabay. Photo courtesy Kiwanis
