A Personal Note
It was with shock that I read of the death of Peter and Sally Jarvis, from an automobile accident.
The details are in The Seattle Times.
The Jarvises lived a lifetime in Sammamish. Sally was one of the first people I met. We both served on the city’s Planning Advisory Board, which wrote the first Comprehensive Plan after Sammamish incorporated in 1999.

A split Sammamish City Council voted on Thursday night to make the new V/C concurrency standard permanent.
As we reported, the new standard pauses new development approvals until infrastructure can catch up.
Mayor Christie Malchow, Deputy Mayor Karen Moran and Council Members Tom Hornish and Chris Ross voted for keeping the V/C standard.
Council Members Pam Stuart, Ramiro Valderrama and Jason Ritchie voted against it.
More details about the meeting to be reported on later date.
