==Biography==
Israel was born to a Jewish family〔(Seattle Times: "Sam Israel, 95, Owner Of Many Seattle Buildings, Dies" By Cathy Reiner ) June 13, 1994〕 in Rhodes, then part of the Ottoman Empire, now part of Greece. He immigrated to the United States in 1919 and became a shoemaker in Seattle, Washington.〔 After World War II, during which he had a military contract to repair combat boots at Fort Lewis near Tacoma, he began to invest in real estate.〔 His holdings, many of them in the Pioneer Square historic district, were largely dilapidated and undesirable to the majority of investors. Through what Paul Dorpat in ''Pacific Northwest'' Magazine called Israel's "benign neglect,"〔Dorpat, Paul. (An Art-full Restoration ), ''Pacific Northwest'' Magazine (a Sunday supplement to the ''Seattle Times''), 26 January 2003. Accessed online 1 December 2007.〕 many of these buildings survived to be renovated after his death in 1994.〔Scott, Maude. (It's A New Day For The Samis Foundation ), ''Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce'', February 28, 1997. Accessed online 1 December 2007.〕
Israel established the ''Samis Land Company'' (now simply Samis) to manage his holdings. The name is based on his first and last names. In 1979, he established the ''Samis Foundation''.
Israel spent much of his later years in Soap Lake, Washington, which was said to remind him of the land of Israel.〔 He never married.〔 He died in Seattle at age 95.〔
