Ramiro Valderrama was elected Deputy Mayor for Sammamish by his fellow council members at the January 8 council meeting. This is a one year term.
Councilman Tom Vance had lobbied members for the position, but didn’t have four votes pledged. Vance was not nominated for the position and Valderrama was elected unanimously.
