Place anchors for cat planning in Sammamish: ~67,000 residents in Washington (King County), oceanic climate, coastal region geography, in-state rank #10/16, density spread, drive band “local,” logistics framed by ~19 km (~0.5 hr) from Seattle. Useful comparison places in-dataset: Redmond, Olympia, Bellevue, Seattle.

Sammamish ranks #10 of 16 in Washington. Straight-line distance to the Seattle hub (~737,000) is about 19 km (~0.5 hr planning estimate, drive band “local”) — treat that as a hint for whether pickup/witnessing is truly local or hub-routed.
