During the late 1990s and early 2000s, the cities of Redmond, Snoqualmie, Fall City, Issaquah and Bellevue have grown substantially. The town of Sammamish was incorporated into King County on August 31, 1999 because of suburban growth.  Sammamish annexed Klahanie on January 1, 2016, raising the population to about 61,000.
