Proposed Issaquah hospital: People need to speak up
Proposed Issaquah hospital: People need to speak up
August 21, 2008 2:53 am

I attended the Evergreen Hospital Expansion Certificate of Need (CON) meeting in Kirkland last Friday to find out how that expansion would affect us getting our hospital here in Issaquah.

We all know that Sammamish is a special place because of the environment that surrounds us, including Lake Sammamish. And, while the lake trail has given more people the opportunity to enjoy view of the lake, access has been limited.

I have to respond to John Burg’s accusatory letter in a recent newspaper publication where he scolds our Sammamish City Council of ‘rolling over to the King County Library District for $5 Million to buy the existing library … ’ I am concerned his easy misconception of the situation is shared by others and will interfere with the ability of Sammamish residents to make an educated decision when voting on the bond proposal in November.

Stop with this propaganda being spewed by the likes of Reagan Dunn about biodiesel.
As someone who has used 100 percent biodiesel for seven years, I must reply to this irrational grouping of biodiesel in the same category such as ethanol. There is a concerted effort by the media, politicians and industries to trash biofuels and it is just wrong.

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.

June 5, 2008 1:06 am

I read the letter entitled “Not all trees provide value.” (May 23 Reporter) I believe that many of the author’s points are covered in Issaquah’s current tree ordinance, which I hope will still contain these clauses when it is revised. Diseased trees can be cut, and I would think so would inappropriate trees, as long as they are replaced with more appropriate trees. Where the author and I really part company is in her statement that one of the “considerations for keeping or planting trees … (is) not obscuring views.”

The Town Center’s few supporters have narrow interests and little connection to existing residents’ concerns. Sammamish’s priority should be mitigating 60 years of “planned growth” absorbed within 25 years.

Maintain homeowner rights in Issaquah
Maintain homeowner rights in Issaquah
May 22, 2008 1:55 am

It doesn’t appear that the city of Issaquah has learned anything from the multi-year tug-a-war between King County and the rural land-owners debate. In a nutshell, you can’t impose city-type regulations against rural land lots. The case in point is the proposed new city ordinance that limits homeowners to cutting down three trees per year on their lot. If the target is a city-sized lot, then this regulation might make sense… but when it’s a 1-plus acre lot with approximately 50 trees and a home, then the regulation is just more unnecessary government bureaucratic regulation. And ­— worst of all, it costs the homeowner unnecessary fees for absolutely no value in return.

On the front page of the March 28 edition of the Reporter, the adorable little Miss Mirabella Ross (age 11 months) was pictured reaching for a new beanie baby. Mirabella had a big, red bump on her head after a nasty fall and was brought by her parents to our Emergency Department to get checked out. Fortunately, she was just fine and left us a happy little girl, chewing eagerly on the beanie baby she received on her way out.

I have lived here on the Sammamish Plateau since 1987, after retiring from 32 years of Federal service. Being active enough to get locally involved, I ran for a seat on the Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District Board of Commissioners and served just short of 12 years. I really liked my position as I got to make lots of friends and really felt like a contributing member of the community.
