When the second annexation to Issaquah vote failed in 2014, the city of Sammamish kicked into high gear with a sincere, well organized and well conducted effort to inform and welcome the citizenry of the Klahanie Proposed Annexation Area to the possibility of becoming Sammamish citizens. The overwhelming approval in the subsequent vote was tribute to a job well done! Ramiro Valderrama was a driving force in this effort. Open houses were held, city managers were available to answer questions, and concerns were addressed. This is the way a responsive governing body should actually work — thanks to Ramiro, et al! Please keep this great team intact — vote for Ramiro Valderrama or re-election to the Sammamish City Council!
