On Feb. 11, 2014 there will be a vote to decide if the citizens of the Klahanie Proposed Annexation Area (PAA) wish to become a part of the city of Issaquah or remain part of unincorporated King County. That decision should be made based on each voter’s judgment and that is the way it should be – including their belief that they feel to be more a part of the city of Issaquah than of unincorporated King county if that is the case.
We know the level of service the county provides Klahanie and can only expect it to not improve and likely decline. We know that the level of service Issaquah is planning by the Nesbitt Study is pretty minimal.
Due to a generous partnership between the Washington State Library and Microsoft, and support from the Legislature, 427 public, college and tribal libraries in the state are able to provide courses to people in the state of Washington from the Microsoft IT Academy. These courses are free through June 2015.
Today is Black Friday. Hordes of people will head to Big Box stores and major retailers to shop for after-Thanksgiving/pre-Christmas bargains.

The cities and organizations that make up Eastside Fire and Rescue are inching ever closer to an agreement to keep the entity intact. Count us cautiously optimistic that this will happen.
Sammamish politicians are playing politics with public safety. The City Council will vote on Nov. 12 to leave Eastside Fire and Rescue (EFR) and start its own fire department based on an inconclusive and unrealistic study. They seem prepared to decide the future of fire service when even their own “expert” consultants wouldn’t make that recommendation.
A number of important issues are on the Nov. 5 ballot. Two statewide issues have drawn strong pro and con arguments. In addition, important votes will be cast on two countywide issues and one local issue. Here is our take on five of them.
Now that the Boundary Review Board unanimously has voted in favor of allowing Klahanie to vote on annexation to Issaquah, it appears there may be an appeal of the ruling, possibly dragging out the decision well into 2014. It would be an appeal by anti-annexation followers who have challenged the facts with non-truths and rumors.
This week’s editorial cartoon by Frank Shiers Jr. explains how to get attention from King County.
It’s become a testy time in the backyard relations between Issaquah and Sammamish.
Water, fire service and annexation issues have officials and residents of both cities finding fault with each other. It shouldn’t be this way. Beyond the shared backyard fence, there is much more that unites the two cities than separates them.
Do you remember watching “Pay it Forward”? If you are like me, that one little line has stuck in the back of your mind ever since. Well, two months ago I encountered a real live “Pay it Forward” moment in Sammamish.
