Annexation Study Areas
Introduction
Like many cities, Sammamish is being encouraged to expand its city limits by annexing
portions of unincorporated King County. To that end, the city developed an “annexation
strategy” to guide its efforts in the coming years. A firm was hired (BHC Consultants)
to conduct a study that examined many issues related to annexation: land use, zoning,
infrastructure needs, financial issues, etc.
In the course of the study, residents were asked to express their perspectives in
public meetings, and in individual and group interviews. That public feedback, along
with other study results was presented to the Planning Commission and the City Council
in the “annexation strategy.”
Before land is annexed to a city it must first be identified as a Potential Annexation
Area (PAA). Currently, all areas outside the city limits but inside the urban growth
boundary are designated as PAA’s in addition to a portion of Soaring Eagle Park
and Duthie Hill Road. For more information on how a PAA can annex to the City and
for current annexations projects see below.
