Renovations complete at Fire Station #82

Mayor Karen Howe, Deputy Mayor Amy Lam and Councilmembers Roisin O'Farrell and Sid Gupta toured the new Fire Station #82 this week.

Work was completed late last year on Fire Station #82, which is used by Eastside Fire & Rescue. The City contracts out fire and emergency services–there are three fire stations serving the Sammamish community. This was the first major update to the building in 35 years.

In 2018, a building analysis identified issues in the fire station that needed addressing to meet federal and local codes and regulations. The City found a contractor to design the upgrades in 2021. Construction started in 2023.

The upgraded space includes an additional 900 square feet, single occupant gender-neutral sleeping quarters, a new fire sprinkler system, and a redesign of the kitchen, dining area, and other spaces. A new generator was added to help ensure power during an emergency.
