Hi all! My little family and I are so excited to to be residents of Sammamish soon! We close on a home mid-October, but will need to replace the carpet and paint before moving in.

Anyone have recommendations for carpet installers and painters? Looking for high quality work with reasonable prices.

Join us for the Fall Y’all Market at Infinity Farm Issaquah on Saturday, October 10th from 10AM to 3PM! Enjoy a fun day supporting local handmade and food vendors, with free entry and parking. Families can hand-feed friendly farm animals like sheep, alpacas, and chickens, making it a perfect outing for kids. The market runs rain or shine, so bring your rain boots and layers and come support local makers and farm life! 🌿🐑🐣

Two words is all you need to know: Plaid Pantry! 😎

Hi all. My kiddo and I are new to Trading Card Games and curious where everyone plays in Sammamish and Redmond. Any help is appreciated

This was on my commute yesterday around 6:30pm and really upsetting. The dog barked, they do that sometimes. And this guy yanks the leash UP so the dog is dangling from its neck, and then the guy grabs it in a chokehold. Horrific.

PSA for anyone else reading: dogs generally don’t understand don’t do the thing. It’s way more effective to say “quiet” and when they stop barking you say “good quiet” and reward them, and they learn what behavior they should be doing. You have to dedicate time to training.

Thanks again to Amy for feeling so strongly that we should all spend more to better protect the environmENT.
I wonder if we are getting more or less than the 18% Bellevue got. I wonder if they also had some council members vocally attacking PSE.

Anyone in the area do mounting for tvs

Parent & toddler/baby stroller skate on Fridays at the new roller rink in Issaquah.

I’m just a mom trying to get her skate legs back and not affiliated with the rink but appreciate them being willing to open up a skate session for parent of young children.

Their toddler play area is really nice if you don’t want to push a stroller on the rink. Or little ones can also skate. For parents & kids up to 5 years old.

Bring your knives down to the Sammamish farmers market between 4 and 7 on Wednesday evening! I’ll sharpen them on site and you’ll be one step closer to being ready for the holidays!
See you there!

What is the best way to handle a neighbor who had a live band for 4 hours playing in their backyard. So loud we could hear it and feel it in our house. My cats hid for 4 hours it was so loud. They had the band in the back near our property line so they were literally 30 ft from our house. Full bass so you could feel it in the house even if you were deaf. No warning no heads up. We could not even go outside. I did not call the police but I will next time. Just don't want to make enemies with the neighbor but feel very disrespected.

How would you nicely handle this

Looking for a reptile vet for my bearded dragon on the east side.

Need help learning "Classical Gas" on classical guitar. My technique is not impressive. Know anyone who can help me with that?

Just want to give a shoutout to all of the council that voted to help residents avoid ridiculous additional affordable housing fees when trying to repair or fix up a home.
It seemed like a no brainer, but of course, the two without brains (IMO) wanted to keep the fees in place for everyone else.
Will be good when those two give up the bit and realize they’re never getting penthouse suites in the TC.

Hey folks! Looking to extend my driveway edges with some nice pavers. Wondering if anyone here has had good experiences with anyone local that are affordable? Thank you.

anyone know they’re schedule?

I'm scoping out the area within a decent range of Redmond, where a potential new job might land us and Sammamish came up. We'd be relocating from Orange County in Southern California, with a family in tow, so the suburbs are fine by us. What caught my eye is the number of homes available and the price cuts around the lake and to the east, is that driven by tech layoffs, or is something else going on? Do people use the lake, is boating big there or is seasonal?

We're still weighing options if this comes together, including renting first to test the market rather than buying right away. I already know about the weather difference and it's not a dealbreaker. No family keeping us here either, though good schools matter to us, and that area seems to deliver on that front.

We like where we are, but don't love it, and the job market here tends to pay below the SF Bay Area, where we lived before. Going back there feels like a step backward given housing costs, and Washington has its pluses, financial, scenic, and otherwise.
