The largest Sammamish village was ''tlah-WAH-dees'' at the mouth of the Sammamish River, which at the time was between present-day Kenmore and Bothell , east of its present location at the southwest corner of KenmoreAlso Wilma (2003) and Dailey (2006). The mouth of the river moved to the west after 1916, when Lake Washington was lowered nine feet by the United States Army Corps Of Engineers .Phelps (1978), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project 1913-1916, pp. 67–69 A second Sammamish village with at least one Longhouse was located near what is now Issaquah . When Europeans from the Hudson's Bay Company arrived in the area in 1832, the Sammamish had several permanent and seasonal settlements along the length of the river, and numbered as many as 200.Also Wilma (2003) In 1855, the United States government signed the Treaty Of Point Elliott with the putative leaders of most of the Puget Sound tribes, including Chief Seattle of the Duwamish. After this relocation, descendants of the Sammamish dispersed into other tribes, including the Suquamish , Snoqualmie , and the people of the Tulalip Reservation, and are generally considered members of those tribes.Tollefson (1994), pp. 692–3Also Wilma (2003) SEE ALSO NOTES AND REFERENCES }}} Sammamish is also a move in the game Killer Instinct useable by the native American character Chief Thunder.
