Other than punks knocking preachers over, Newport Way is a pretty good road. Access from SE 36/38th is painless if you cut through the 156th/153rd neighborhood.

There is a lot of traffic and literally no room on the right side of the road so you are forced to ride on the left into oncoming traffic. The left shoulder is quite wide, but it can be a bit scary since people coming off that hill easily to 50+ even though it is a 35. However, if 43rd puts you closer to where you want to go, continue down to the next stop light and make a right on 212th. It is twisty, a solid grade and less traveled. From there you can jog around the back roads of the pine lake area. <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=sammamish,wa&ll=47.571747,-122.059694&spn=0.013763,0.024600&hl=en" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=sammamish,wa&ll=47.571747,-122.059694&spn=0.013763,0.024600&hl=en" rel="nofollow">http://maps.google.com/maps?q=sammamish,wa&ll=47.571747,-122.059694&spn=0.013763,0.024600&hl=en</a></a> The 43rd route really isn’t worth the trouble.
