The Sammamish City Council has officially proclaimed September 8-17, 2023, as "Welcoming Week!" This annual campaign celebrates our ongoing efforts to create a welcoming and inclusive community for everyone.

Welcoming Week, launched in 2012 by Welcoming America and its members, is all about showcasing the values that bring together immigrants and non-immigrants, fostering connections, and promoting a sense of belonging for all.
