Klahanie

Annexed to the city of Sammamish in 2016, Klahanie is a highly desirable planned community in King County, Washington. It was established in 1984, earning the distinction of being one of the first planned communities in the entire Pacific Northwest region.

“Klahanie” is the native American Chinook term used to refer to the outdoors, which is fitting because this community is designed to showcase the abundance of open spaces surrounding it in all directions. Klahanie residents enjoy access to 30 miles of hiking and riding trails, a breathtaking lake, and communal sports facilities that include multiple basketball courts, tennis courts, pickleball/badminton courts, baseball fields, and swimming pools.

Located roughly 20 miles east of Seattle, Klahanie presents an inviting suburban retreat for homebuyers looking for more peaceful surroundings that still stay within reach of Washington’s most prolific urban centers. From Tacoma, Klahanie is situated a bit further at 45 miles northeast of the port city, but it is still only a reasonable one to 1.5-hour drive away.

Klahanie is accessible primarily via two main thoroughfares: the Issaquah Pine Lake Road and Issaquah-Fall City Road, which connect to Sammamish to the north, downtown Issaquah to the south, and Fall City to the east.

Schools in Klahanie

Two schools, both operated by the Issaquah School District, are found within the local area boundaries of Klahanie. These are Challenger Elementary School and Beaver Lake Middle School.
