Sammamish
Although it’s a relatively young city (only incorporated in 1999), Sammamish has always attracted people to its awe-inspiring location — sandwiched between the verdant, rolling hills to the east and the eponymous lake to the west.
Throughout its history, travelers and permanent settlers have sought out Sammamish to experience nature in its most pristine state. Newcomers are often amazed that such a well-preserved environment is within convenient driving distance from busy city centers. But for locals, the allure of Sammamish never gets old.
From lakefront estates to tree-lined neighborhoods further inland, you’ll feel a sense of community and belonging. It’s not uncommon for people to know their neighbors quite well. Best of all, residents care about what goes on in their area and won’t hesitate to lend a helping hand when the opportunity arises. If you’re stopping by this suburban paradise anytime soon, there’s a good chance you’ll want to stay longer or on a more permanent basis.
