The City of Issaquah's City Council Ad Hoc Legislative Agenda Committee met on September 10, 2026, to discuss various legislative priorities and infrastructure projects. Key procurement-related discussions included the evaluation of transportation projects such as the SR18 highway expansion, with concerns raised about the lack of specific traffic impact modeling for Issaquah and the uncertain availability of state funding. The committee decided not to prioritize SR18 funding in the upcoming legislative agenda but to revisit it with more detailed analysis in the future. They also reviewed housing-related bills, notably House Bill 2702, which proposes increasing the short subdivision threshold from 4 to 30 lots to streamline housing development, and agreed to support this in the legislative agenda. Additionally, the committee discussed supporting a 75-year bonding bill for Sound Transit and considered policy positions on water infrastructure, including advocating against redundant infrastructure and exploring water wheeling legislation. Other topics included potential support for legislation defining e-motorcycles and increasing thresholds for self-performed public works projects. The committee planned to finalize the legislative priorities in upcoming meetings and scheduled a legislative breakfast for December 3, 2026.
