If you’ve ever thought Sammamish felt a little too… suburban, just wait until you walk through the farmers market on a sunny Wednesday evening. Suddenly, the whole city feels like a small town again. The Sammamish Farmers Market is held weekly during the summer at Sammamish Commons, right in front of City Hall. It’s not …
Sammamish City Hall isn’t just where the local government does its thing — it’s also one of the few places in town that genuinely feels like a community hub.

Sammamish Commons is the heart of Sammamish — both literally and in spirit. Perched just behind City Hall and the library, the Commons isn’t a traditional park in the usual sense.

East Sammamish Park is one of those parks that doesn’t try too hard — and it doesn’t need to. It’s clean, straightforward, and surprisingly versatile for its size. Tucked just off 212th Way SE, not far from Discovery Elementary, this park feels like a well-kept neighborhood secret. It’s not as flashy as some of the …

Evans Creek Preserve is one of those places that’s easy to miss if you don’t know where to look — but once you do, it becomes a regular stop. Tucked away on the edge of Sammamish, this preserve feels far more remote than it actually is. With wide-open meadows, densely wooded trails, and a healthy …
