The City of Sammamish has suspended all right-of-way (ROW) permits for Ziply Fiber due to mounting community concerns regarding the installation of underground fiber internet lines, effective January 23, 2025. This suspension allows only for the securing of active sites to ensure safety and restoration. The City is working closely with Ziply representatives to address these issues and aims to reissue permits promptly. To enhance oversight, the City plans to increase inspection coverage of active crews and improve communication with residents regarding construction activities. Updated notification procedures will also be implemented to provide clearer information to the community.

Residents are encouraged to report any concerns through the MySammamish platform, ensuring that City staff can respond effectively. The City emphasizes the importance of its partnerships with utility providers to enhance local infrastructure. For further information and updates, residents can visit the Sammamish Cone Zone webpage.
