By annexing to Sammamish, Klahanie PAA residents will enjoy increased public services, police protection, school safety, and greater home values, all with lower taxes than we pay now to King County. A vote yes insures that our taxes will be spent closer to where they are being paid.
We face the choice of remaining in Unincorporated King County, with minimal services, high property taxes and an unknown future, or we can choose to join the City of Sammamish who is enthusiastically anticipating annexation.
Recognized as a top residential city in America, Sammamish has no bond debt, no utility or B&O taxes, lower overall taxes than King County, significant cash reserves for future projects, maintains its streets, committed to improving Issaquah-Fall City Road, and will provide increased, rapid police response for our neighborhoods.
Now is the final time to choose between a city who wants us and a county that can’t take care of us.
This pro-Sammamish statement was written by a coalition of local Klahanie PAA citizens who represented both sides of the issue in the last election. Jointly we now believe that becoming a part of Sammamish is the right path for our neighborhood, our community, and our PAA.
