Swedish hospital wants to expand in the Issaquah Highlands to build additional office space for medical practices and to expand the shops at Swedish. A spokesman for Swedish said they have 40 new doctors coming and nowhere to put them.

The Urban Village Development Commission will take public comment at its regular meeting Aug. 20, on the proposed project.

A partially dug well on the site, which is capped, traffic and parking concerns, transit issues and a storm water vault in the northeast corner of the proposed site are all items that need to be addressed.

Written comments can be directed to the city of Issaquah, Development Services Department, P.O. Box 1307, Issaquah, 98027 in advance of the hearing, or may be submitted at the hearing.

The Urban Village Development Commission meets at 7 p.m. in the Council Chambers of City Hall South, 135 E. Sunset Way.

Commission members are Karl Leigh, Scott McKillop, Stefanie Preston, Nina Milligan, Chantal Stevens, Michael Beard and Geoffrey Walker.
