Councilmember Kent Treen, the sole council member to vote against a development agreement for the Town Center project in December 2022, did not return requests for comment.

In a voters’ guide statement last fall, Treen wrote that he has “consistently voted to protect our community from haphazard development which would fundamentally alter life in Sammamish.”

This year's Funniest Joke of the Fringe winner is Lorna Rose Treen with her one-liner about a zookeeper.

Comedian Lorna Rose Treen was voted the winner with her pun: "I started dating a zookeeper, but it turned out he was a cheetah."

Moran and Malchow, along with Councilmember Kent Treen, were in the minority vote against dropping the appeal.
