My message to Sammamish is that this year’s elections are too important to worry about being popular. If, like me, you support Obama, Gregoire, Burner, and other Washington State Democratic candidates for public office, now is the time to use our voices to speak up for change. We have to do everything in our power to effect the “change we believe in.”
I challenge us all to answer the call and do more than just speak up.

Shame on the City of Sammamish. The Albrechts have lived in their home since 1976. They are in their 70s. They will be forced to leave their home because their property is in the planning area of the Town Center. At most, they can hope to remain in their home while the Town Center project moves forward.
