📢 Message from the HOA President

I am currently working to address several issues within our community, particularly in the Sea Vista and Beachwood areas. However, there is a legal process that must be followed, and the HOA cannot intervene directly in property cleanups. Kitsap County Public Health Department and Kitsap County Community Development are involved, and I am actively considering legal action against repeat offenders.

💡 Where Do Your HOA Dues Go?

HOA fees cover much more than just pool access! These funds help maintain:

✔️ Clubhouse ✔️ Playground ✔️ Pool ✔️ Waterfront Property ✔️ Administrative Expenses ✔️ Insurance ✔️ Utilities ✔️ Website & Accounting ✔️ Reserve Maintenance Account ✔️ Landscaping

📢 Financial reports are NOT posted online. They are available at HOA meetings or by request at mbe98370@gmail.com.

🏡 Selling Your Home?

If you are planning to sell your home, you must request HOA documents by emailing mbe98370@gmail.com. Your request will be forwarded to our bookkeeper, who will review and send the required forms.

⚠️ Please submit your request in advance! Last-minute or weekend requests will be processed on the next business day.

🚯 Business Card Littering

We have contacted all businesses responsible for rock-throwing card distribution and asked them to stop littering resident yards. If this continues, legal action will be taken.

🏡 Spring Cleanup – Start Now!

Spring is the perfect time to tidy up your property! Please take the time to:

✅ Remove yard debris ✅ Clean gutters and roofs ✅ Mow lawns and trim hedges

Due to high dumping costs, this year’s Community Cleanup Day will be limited in scope.

♻️ Need to dispose of items? The Hansville Recycling & Garbage Facility is open:

📅 Wednesday–Monday, 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM

📍 7791 NE Ecology Road, Kingston

📞 360-638-2710
