Sammamish Library Construction Project

The Details:
The design process for the new 19,500 square foot Sammamish Library is underway. The $8.2 million library will be located in a new development adjacent to Sammamish City Hall, called Sammamish Commons. The new library will include more books, materials, computers, space for children and teens and a community meeting room.

Potential Modifications:
A possible adjustment to the project may include altering the budget due to an exceedingly high service demand and limited access to other libraries. This also is an area that is projected to have one of the highest growth rates during the next several decades.
Before any alterations are made, they must be formally approved by the Board.

• Project Status: In progress
