City Council mulls over building moratorium LIZZ GIORDANO lgiordano@sammamishreview.com After a long, dry discussion about updates to the Storm and Surface Water Management Comprehensive Plan during the City Council work session Sept. 13, Deputy Mayor Ramiro Valderrama made a surprise move: He proposed

the council stop business as usual and consider a building moratorium. Valderrama said growth has been rapid to the point that the city has not been able to keep up with it. He wants the city to deal with issues relating to infrastructure, such as stormwater runoff, traffic congestion and sewage, before

considering more development. “You have to be able to sit back and balance the growth that’s taking place, and balance growth is respecting people’s ability to develop their property but also respecting the environment, the character of our neighborhoods and trees,” Valderrama said. “ I don’t see where we’re going with plans to

do this.” Valderrama asked his fellow city councilmembers to join him in directing the city manager to begin a 60-day process to do a study and encourage public input for the establishment of a moratorium across the town center. After the shock wore off, other councilmembers voiced

their support to continue this discussion at the next council meeting. Several councilmembers, however, questioned the need to start with a moratorium in the town center area. Councilmember Christie Malchow wasn’t sure a SEE MORATORIUM, PAGE 2

Opportunities abound to view migrating salmon

BY CHRISTINA CORRALES-TOY ccorrales-toy@sammamishreview.com The Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery’s Aug. 29 announcement was so grand, it required all caps. “IT’S OFFICIAL: THE FIRST FISH WAS SEEN!” the Facebook post read, welcoming the start of what is known as Salmon SEEson in King County. The season’s first chinook was spotted at 1:17 p.m. Aug. 28 in Issaquah Creek, according to FISH. It represented the beginning of what will become fish-filled waters at SEE SALMON, PAGE 2

Lake Sammamish State Park (2000 NW Sammamish Road) The outlet from Issaquah Creek feeds

into Lake Sammamish at a peninsula in the state park. A boardwalk that travels from the park’s Sunset Beach out to the mouth of Issaquah Creek makes for a convenient viewpoint to watch several salmon species make their final journey from the lake, through the creek and on to the salmon hatchery. According to King County, the best viewing locations in the park are from the bridge crossing Issaquah

Creek and along the boardwalk route. The opportunity to see most species begins around mid-September and continues through October, with the best chance of spotting fish in early October. Salmon viewing at the state park is self-guided, but check the Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park website at lakesammamishfriends. org for salmon-related activities. A Discover Pass is required to access the state park.

Ebright and Lewis creeks See the little red kokanee salmon at self-guided locations along Ebright and Lewis creeks. Kokanee salmon are native to the Lake Sammamish and Lake Washington watershed but now spawn in only a few streams that feed into Lake Sammamish. Unlike their larger relative the sockeye salmon, kokanee do not go out to the ocean but spend their entire lifecycle in fresh water. They migrate from

streams as inch-long fry and spend three to four years in Lake Sammamish before returning to spawn in the late fall and early winter in their natal streams. Ebright Creek is located along the East Lake Sammamish Trail in Sammamish and Lewis Creek is at 185th Place SE in Issaquah. The best time to see the kokanee is early November through late January. Call 206-4774746 before you go to make sure the kokanee are visible.

that without a legal conversation first, the council was putting the horse before the cart. “If we are told we don’t have the legal underpinnings to (a moratorium), it’s going to be an extreme disappointment,” Huckabay said. Councilmember Tom Odell said that now Pandora’s box was open, the city needed to deal with those consequences.

He also urged other councilmembers to catch their breath and take their time with the decision. “This came out of the blue, Ramiro,” Odell said. “I was not expecting this tonight, and frankly I don’t appreciate it. But I have some sympathy for what you are saying because of what I have been watching.” But Odell said he was willing to think

about a moratorium, saying the city has been playing catch-up since the recession ended and development picked up. “The city is behind the eight ball in terms of providing arterial capacity,” Odell said. City Manager Lyman Howard said a conversation about a moratorium was a worthwhile discussion but warned of a rush on permits.

“As soon as we have a moratorium discussion tonight, basically you are going to force a lot of developers to speed up their plans,” Howard said. “They are actually going to accelerate growth, as opposed to thinking about things and do things in a more of measured fashion.” No action was taken during the work session, and the discussion of a moratorium has been

added to the agenda for the Sept. 20 City Council meeting, which was held after deadline for this edition of the Sammamish Review. Members of the city staff were to present the council with public comments from the Sept. 8 growth roundtable and from the virtual town hall survey on growth.

PFOS monitoring continues Editor’s note To make contaminant levels easier to compare against federal guidelines, The Issaquah Press is changing the way we report those amounts. In the past, we have used parts per billion. From this point forward, we will report levels using parts per trillion. For example: The EPA lifetime advisory level for PFOS and PFOA combined is 0.07 parts per billion. Our stories will now refer to that level as 70 parts per trillion.

While awaiting results from the samples, the district has hired experts, is developing a monitoring plan and exploring treatment alternatives to remove PFOS. Consultants have been hired to study groundwater movement and a national expert on PFOS will advise the district. PFOS was also discovered in soil samples taken from Eastside Fire & Rescue’s headquarters at 175 Newport Way NW.

2002 Interstate 90 tanker fire is not a source of PFOS found in Gilman Well No. 4. “However, the data available at this point suggests that 175 Newport Way NW (EFR) is a source of the PFOS detected in Gilman Well No. 4, Monitoring Well No. 3, and Monitoring Well No. 5,” according to a Sept. 15 report by Geosyntec. According to Burke, a signature test has not been done to determine if the PFOS found in the soil samples at EFR is the same PFOS found in the groundwater. PFOS is known to cause liver damage and birth defects in lab animals. Research on its effects on humans is still evolving. According to staff scientist with the Washington Toxics Coalition Erika Schreder, perfluorinated compounds are very longlasting chemicals that build up in our bodies— and are present in nearly all Americans. “With their extremely high persistence and association with health problems including cancer, reduced birth weight, and harm to the immune system, we need policies and actions that will reduce exposure to these compounds,” she said.

Letters to the editor City shouldn’t borrow money to alleviate congestion on roads After reading your article in the Sept. 15 issue of the Sammamish Review and all the comments that residents gave the city at the Sept. 8 roundtable, I take issue with the headline chosen for your article about the meeting. Yes, a good majority complained about the traffic congestion, but few mentioned borrowing to fix it. I propose that we take a look at where the city spends its $15,000 mitigation fee it receives for every new house built in Sammamish. The developer is required to get a check-off from the city, schools and traffic to make sure the new development will not overload this infrastructure. If traffic gave an F grade, then development for that project would not be allowed. Why is traffic getting above an F grade when everyone agrees it is terrible during peak hours, and why aren’t we using the mitigation fees to improve roads? Barbara Raabe Sammamish

This letter is to set the record straight on Roger Goodman’s Sammamish vote in the recent primary election. Roger Goodman handily won the Sammamish vote, as well as the vote of the entire district, over Sammamish Deputy Mayor Ramiro Valderrama. On Aug. 30, the Sammamish Review published a letter from Pamela Randolph claiming that Ramiro Valderrama had “overwhelmingly won the Sammamish vote.” Ms. Randolph is

simply wrong about that. I do not know where Ms. Randolph got her erroneous information, but one can download the primary election results from King County Elections and find that Mr. Goodman got 2,582 votes in Sammamish compared to Mr. Valderrama’s 1,985. That gives Mr. Goodman 56.5 percent of the Sammamish vote. Roger Goodman’s breadth of support across Sammamish, on Mr. Valderrama’s home turf, was impressive. Of Sammamish’s 24 voting precincts in the 45th Legislative district, Mr. Goodman won 20, one was tied, and Mr. Valderrama won only 3 precincts. As Ms. Randolph stated, “the people of Sammamish best know Ramiro”… and the fact is that those who best know Ramiro voted overwhelmingly for Roger Goodman.

He will work to stop the permanent tax of Sound Transit 3 (ST 3) – light rail – because: n It costs too much.

Valderrama advocates for homeowners, communities

Ramiro Valderrama has served the City of Sammamish well and will be able to do even more for its citizens as our representative in Olympia! One of the issues we all face on the Eastside is balanced growth. Ramiro has worked tirelessly to preserve the character of our communities and preserve the environment, as well as advocating for homeowners. He knows waste when he sees it. He is strongly opposed to the $54 billion Sound Transit 3 measure that we will see on our ballots in November. He calls it “taxation without transportation.” He also believes that voters should approve, by a two-thirds majority, any tax increases proposed by the Legislature. Ramiro is a firm believer in transparency in government and holding it accountable for actions undertaken by its lawmakers. A vote for Valderrama is a vote for sensible, muchneeded change.
