The Sammamish City Planning Commission meeting held on July 17, 2025, focused on the proposed addition of 4,000 housing units in the city. Resident Isabelle Moraco, who has lived in Sammamish for over a decade, expressed her concerns regarding this significant development during the public comment section of the meeting.

Moraco highlighted her long-term residency and her attentiveness to local issues, particularly the recent council vote that approved the proposal for the additional housing units. Her comments reflect a growing concern among residents about the impact of such developments on the community, including potential changes to the local environment and infrastructure.

The meeting also included discussions on the implications of the housing expansion, with various stakeholders weighing in on the potential benefits and challenges. While some members of the commission emphasized the need for more housing to accommodate a growing population, others raised questions about the adequacy of current infrastructure to support such an increase.

As the city moves forward with planning and implementation, the feedback from residents like Moraco will play a crucial role in shaping the future of Sammamish. The Planning Commission is expected to continue discussions on this topic in upcoming meetings, ensuring that community voices are heard in the decision-making process.
