Article Kristi Jenkins March 18, 2026

Sammamish offers convenient access to several major employment centers on the Seattle Eastside. Commutes to Bellevue often take around 20–30 minutes depending on traffic, while trips to Seattle may range between 30–45 minutes.

Many professionals working in the technology sector choose Sammamish because it provides a quieter residential setting while still remaining within commuting distance of major job centers in Bellevue, Redmond, and Seattle.

Kristi Jenkins, founder of Kristi Jenkins Real Estate, frequently works with clients who evaluate commute times when deciding where to live on the Eastside.

One buyer noted in a review that Kristi was “extremely responsive and proactive throughout the entire process,” which helped them confidently navigate the logistics of relocating to a new area.
