Year in Review 2025 Part 1

1. Fourth on the Plateau
The City’s biggest event of the year sparkled with fireworks overhead. Thousands of people flocked to Sammamish to enjoy a variety of food trucks, kids activities, and live music before the big fireworks show at 10 p.m. for our Fourth on the Plateau event.

2. Restarted CERT
Did you know we restarted our CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) program? 

The group completed their training in November. CERT-trained residents can safely help themselves, their families, and their neighborhoods during major emergencies. If disaster overwhelms local response capability, CERT-trained residents can provide critical support in their immediate area until help arrives. A new class will start next year, stay tuned for more info. To learn about CERT visit: www.sammamish.us/our-community/emergency-management/cert/

3. Created the first Arts Strategic Plan
The City adopted its first Arts Strategic Plan this spring. The document is a community-driven roadmap to guide arts and culture investments. The Arts Commission will begin implementing the Plan’s near-term priorities, including developing a two-year arts work plan, applying new project selection criteria, and building partnerships to expand arts access across Sammamish.
