This is the final weekend before the Nov. 7 City Council election on Tuesday.
Voting has been underway since Oct. 20. We’re reposting links to endorsements, recommendations, candidate questionnaires and evaluations by various groups.
Sammamish Comment will be working Election Night, posting initial results as soon as possible after King County Elections posts (advertised for about 8:15pm, but it’s not unusual to be late).
The County updates the results daily, except weekends and Thanksgiving. So will The Comment, as long as any results are too close to call. We will post the final results Nov. 28 and follow up with a precinct analysis.
Typically, Election Night results are within a point or two of the final tally. Also typically, the vote spreads are enough to project winners on Election Night.
With the Nov. 7 City Council election 11 days off and voting underway, it’s useful to repost links to Candidate Questionnaires, endorsements, recommendations and evaluations by various groups.
Sammamish Comment made endorsements and recommendations. The Comment also posted extensive candidate questionnaires in the August primary and November general elections.
For the first time in its history, the Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter made endorsements. Sammamish Friends, an environmental group, rated candidates. Links to these various posts and articles are below.
Pam Stuart
The Endorsements for Sammamish City Council Positions 1, 3 and 5 
were easy decisions, even if in some cases a close call. The decision for Position 7 was a difficult, hard choice.
Sammamish Comment recommends Pam Stuart for election to City Council Position 7.
Note we write “Recommend” and not “Endorse.” “Recommend” falls well short of an “Endorsement,” for reasons that we will detail in this lengthy column.
Sammamish Comment will begin making its recommendations tomorrow for the Sammamish City Council and King County Council District 3 elections Nov. 7.
There are four City Council seats up for election, Positions 1, 3, 5 and 7.
Here’s how The Comment proceeded to come to its recommendations:
