An agenda packet for the Oct. 20, 2025 City Council meeting included a staff briefing on private development activity, cataloguing housing, plats, and construction projects across Kenmore 1.
What the records say
The agenda for the Oct. 20, 2025 City Council meeting included a staff report titled "Brief Update on Private Development Activity in Kenmore," to be presented by Development Services Director Samantha Loyuk 1. The accompanying memo and presentation, included in the agenda packet, catalogued current private development and construction activity across the city, covering short plats, long plats, apartments, townhomes, condos, and other projects 1. Because this is pre-meeting material, the records establish what was scheduled and what the briefing covered, but not the meeting's outcome or any Council discussion 1.
- The briefing catalogued short plats across Kenmore, including five under construction — Twin Springs (19806 76th Ave NE), Sanda (20405 80th Ave NE), Kazenmini (15722 Simonds Rd NE), BJH (18715 80th Ave NE), and Kenmore Creek II (18717 80th Ave NE) — and several with land-use approval but construction not started 1.
- Housing projects ranged from 180 condos under construction at 25 Degrees Phase 1 to 175 senior apartments at Larus in the land-use stage, plus 53 apartments at Beachwood II (17717 80th Ave NE) under construction 1.
- Other projects included Kenmore Elementary and Inglemoor High School Replacement Phase 1, both under construction, and a 12-lot long plat at Burkard (18615 80th Ave NE) with land-use approval 1.
- The records do not establish the meeting's outcome; the packet is pre-meeting material 1.
