good to hear that.... we certainly enjoyed our time there we had moved from Redmond WA about 5 miles away as our 1st home purchase there in WA was ok but ended up being too much work on an old home our oldest was about to enter HS so we chose Sammamish for the HS
the area grew a ton in the 14 years we were there.
We purchased the New Build home which was appealing to us. C-6 working down the hill in Issaquah's M Soft was convenient too!

All 3 's graduated from the HS there. REMEMBER I used to @ you to come visit our youngest was @ UW & thought we could hit a FB Game
I think if I recall you had a USC kid attend Skyline HS which was right by us but in the Issaquah district, we were on the border.
Many M-Softers in that area
I will say our last visit 3 years ago we did NOT recognize it as the trees were even bigger

Pretty sure we paid like $400.00 K for the 2600 sq ft home and now it's well over ! Million maybe 2

 

Max Browne. A nice kid. As an incoming freshman (quarterback) he was assigned to call alums preseason to gather support (and donations). He called me and I started talking about Sammamish and our friends there, the Johnsons. He never really made it as QB at USC, but he had his moments.

Did you know that both Joe Montana 's Son played at UW and Will Smiths neither did well though

 

No, I didn't know that.

 

OOOOPs C-6 corrected me that Will Smith's Son & Joe's played in the best HS teams game at Skyline. But Joe's Son DID play at UW for awhile.
