I grew up in Sammamish. It’s really nice but when I lived there in the 1990’s a 2,500 sq ft house was $250,000. Now it’s $2,000,000. It’s just way too unaffordable for 99% of the population.

The place has gronwn a lot!! It was way better back in the 80's & 90's They bought land and fucked it up by building houses on top of each other, half the houses are built on old dirt bike 4X4 trails & party spots we had in highschool.It's kinda sad they destroyed the place.

@julieperrin344011 ай бұрын
Everything you said is spot on. I would add that with all those homes and limited access points from that plateau, traffic and the commute can be annoying. And since it’s a somewhat newly incorporated city, it feels more like a bedroom community with basic services without a ’downtown’ and definitely lacks a variety of restaurants or shopping. We lived next door in Redmond for 25 years and know it well.

Interesting these homes are so large given that people are having smaller families, if they're starting a family at all. All the new builds here are HUGE with opulent entries, two living rooms (why?) and massive kitchens (sometimes with a butler kitchen, again, why?)... yet the yard isn't large enough to plant a tree in. 😐

It's crazy to see how much Sammamish and Issaquah have exploded since the 90's. My grandma's family founded Issaquah in the 1860's and she always comments on how much it has changed, even since she was raising kids (back then, Issaquah was kind of a small farming town, and she was literally related to half the residents). She and my grandpa were priced out back in 1994. The schools there are great though!

I enjoy your videos but I wanted to see more of the town itself, I feel like you keep turning it into selling a house which I understand you’re a real estate agent, but I would really appreciate more time in the video spent on showing more of the city itself and not only focusing on really expensive homes.

The Best small city at the price of destroying the very nature you yearn for. You all love the Evergreen trees, but the first thing you do is cut them down because your afraid they will fall on you or your house. And of course you can't have cougars and bears walking the Neiborhood's so they have to be killed. In the end you'll wind up just another concrete city. So why not give the nature a break and just move to Seattle.
