Sammamish, Washington - 98029, 98074, 98075

History

Sammamish is a Snoqualmie name derived from samma, meaning “the sound of the blue crane” and mish, meaning “river”.  It is a fairly young city; officially incorporated in 1999.  The major industry in the area was logging until the 1930’s. The first Europeans arrived in the late 19th century and established a trio of resorts by the 1930's.  It is home to nine parks and 4 resorts on the lake.  The Four Seasons of Beaver Lake claim to fame was that Clint Eastwood was a lifeguard teacher there in 1953. The plateau remained a mostly rural area until suburban homes, shopping centers, and schools were built in the 1970's and 1980's.
