Thank you for your letter.  I very much agree with you.  I know here in Issaquah City Staff refused to acknowledge that we have wildlife in the area even though some of the older City goals and vision state the City wants to project wildlife and preserve open space and wildlife corridor. Most of our staff does not live here so have no real idea as to what wild life exist here or where they live or roam. Our SEPA process and comments when new development is being reviewed is ignored when anyone mentions wildlife corridors and grazing area on a property to be scalped of trees, bushy areas leveled and creek buffers reduce to allow more development and roadways or parking.  Deers seem wondering lost on the roadways more and more trying to access the creeks and more are getting hit by vehicles.  The owls that use to hoot and eagles that use to soar over my development are no longer present. Bears are roaming more and more to find food in places that use to provide them with nourishment.
