Sammamish Comment recommends John Murphy for election to King County Council District 3, which includes Sammamish, Issaquah and adjacent unincorporated areas.
Lambert has been the District 3 Council Member for 16 years. Before that, she was a state legislator.
As a matter of preference, The Comment would rather see new blood come in after four terms. This has been true on the Sammamish City Council level and for other elective positions.
Ballots for the Nov. 7 election arrive this week.
Sammamish citizens will be voting for four positions for City Council, one for the King County Council District 3 and a special election for the balance of the State Senator for the 45th Legislative District.
Sammamish Comment published candidate questionnaires for City Council during the primary and general election periods.
Below are links to the general election questionnaires, which have links to the primary questionnaires and to ones submitted to Sammamish Friends.

General Questions
Nearly two years after turning on the “Intelligence Transportation System” stop lights on 228th Ave. from one end of the City to the other, Sammamish is finally fixing it.
The ITS is intended to coordinate lights on 228th to give green lights and expedite traffic.
The problem: side streets and left turn arrows faced long delays, even when there was little or no through traffic on 228th.
