The Vision
Sammamish is home to over 65,000 people ranging in different backgrounds, ages, cultures, ethnicity and experiences making it an incredible diverse location. Sammamish residents love nature and technology. Sammamish is home to some of the world’s greatest technology talent but lacks technology workspaces. Eastlake Development wants to fill this void by constructing a one of a kind Tech Campus and Nature Park with a Gondola stretching over Lake Sammamish connecting Sammamish to Redmond. To make this vision a reality we need you to voice your opinion on this incredible project. Time is of the essence to make your voice heard. Take a look, get inspired and help us bring something truly awe inspiring to our community.
