My name is Josiah Mault, I received a B.S. in Atmospheric Sciences (with focus in Meteorology) from the University of Washington in June 2006 and am the Assistant State Climatologist for the Office of the Washington State Climatologist

I have enjoyed observing and forecasting the weather since I became fascinated by it when watching TV weather forecasts when I was 12. Since then, I had the goal of making a career out of weather and computers (my second fascination) and plan to continue my education with an advanced degree in atmospheric sciences and/or a computer science degree.

I created this page in Spring 2000, for the use of Sammamish residents, visitors, and curious web surfers. Its purpose has always been to provide weather data, consisting of current, past, and future weather conditions for the city of Sammamish, WA.

The weather data gathered on this website is from an Oregon Scientific WM918 weather station. The weather data is uploaded to the internet using Ambient Weather's Virtual Weather Station (VWS). For more information and pictures of the weather station please visit the Weather Station Information page.

The city of Sammamish was incorporated on August 31, 1999, and is often refered to as the "Plataeu". Located about 21 miles east of Seattle, it consists of an area of about 22 square miles on the East Sammamish Plateau, lying east of Lake Sammamish and southeast of the southeasterly tip of the city of Redmond. The name Sammamish is derived from two Northwest Indian words: samena-hunter and mish-people. For more information on the city of Sammamish please visit the official website.
