We are trading in our winter boots for rain boots! With so much going on, we'd like to pass on some important updates. Please see our email update sent out Tuesday, Feb 12th at 6:30pm.
Thank you Kenmore community for being so patient and supportive during this very unusual winter weather! Our Public Works* crews and Kenmore Police have been working around the clock cleaning roads and responding to incidents to keep our community safe. Your kind waves and smiles to them out on the streets go a long way! The bright side? We’ve seen and heard how families are enjoying time with each other. Neighbors are coming together to help each other.
The National Weather Service in Seattle has issued a Winter Storm Watch, effective from noon Friday, February 8 through Saturday, February 9 for much of the Puget Sound region, including King County. Please see some great information here on how to prepare yourself and your home.
As we prepare for more snow, just a few reminders about road conditions. This week, we had multiple calls and requests for various neighborhood streets to be plowed and treated.

Kenmore, WA – The City of Kenmore will be updating its Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Plan in 2019. To prepare for this, a survey has just been mailed to many Kenmore homes. If you receive one, please complete the survey! We need you to tell us what your recreation, leisure, and park needs are.
Kenmore, WA – The City of Kenmore would like to inform the community of potential impacts to the West Sammamish River Bridge Replacement Project due to the current federal government shutdown.
The bridge carries southbound traffic over the Sammamish River on 68th Ave NE and was constructed in the 1930s. Due to the age of the bridge, weight restrictions went into effect in 2014 and the City began design for a new bridge in 2015. As the project moves from design to construction, we expected to advertise the project now and start construction in Spring 2019.
CITY COUNCIL NAMES NEW PLANNNING COMMISSIONERS
Kenmore, WA – Kenmore City Council has named Ms. Suzanne Greathouse and Mr. Nathan Loutsis as the two newest Planning Commissioners. Both participated in their first Planning Commission meeting on January 15th, 2019 at Kenmore City Hall.
Ms. Greathouse has been a Kenmore resident for the past five years and recently retired from AT&T as a Senior Technical Director. Ms. Greathouse is active in the community and currently serves on the Kenmore Heritage Society and Northshore Senior Center Boards of Directors.
Update 12/19/4:30pm: Bridge will be open to all traffic at 4:30 p.m. The sidewalk on the southbound lane will remain closed to pedestrian and bicycle access until further notice.
I see a lot of construction vehicles in this area. What is going on?
Northshore Utility District (NUD) contractors are currently working on a sewer main relocation project next to and east of the Sammamish River Bridge on the south side of the river/68th Ave NE. This work is to prep for the bridge replacement that will start sometime in mid-2019.
Did the City know this upcoming sewer work would be done when they were designing and constructing the boardwalk and float?
