Teens Harassing Neighbors

 

 
Dear Illahee Neighbors,

Several of our neighborhood tween or teen boys have been harassing neighbors.

If you are a victim of harassment, please call Sammamish police at 425-295-0770.
A police case file has been opened, number 15-146898

Activity has included:  Insulting neighbors with race- and gender-related epithets, taunting neighbors that they can't do anything to stop this harassment, repeatedly ringing doorbells & running away, kicking and banging on a front door as if to break it down, and attempted arson of a wood play structure in our Illahee neighborhood park.  

Thank you,
Your Illahee HOA

Yard Bark!

Your HOA Board has vetted and negotiated and argued—er—”discussed” many options and the Board is pleased with the Yard Bark decision.    The common areas within Illahee will receive fresh fine dark bark the week of October 28th by Sparky Bark. 
A large one-time assessment for every homeowner would have been required for the HOA to bark every front yard, and the assessment could not have been fairly distributed according to bark required for each front yard.  Therefore, it seems good to the Board to, instead, recommend to you the company we hired for our common areas. 

Call or email Sparky Bark for an estimate.  This is not exclusive to front yards.  You can bark your front and back and side yards.  You can bark bark bark.  :)   Although you will be purchasing your own bark and have the option to choose different styles, your Board recommends “fine bark” for a uniform color through the community.

Sparky Bark offered our HOA the best price and has great references.
Dollars are also saved using a fine dark bark that matches previous bark, negating the need to bark areas with a satisfactory layer.

Hahaha!  Flood delay!  Party delayed until spring

It’s not just raining, it’s a flood from the skies!  Our party will be delayed until spring…

We anticipate a couple more neighborhood events through the winter before the spring party.  Halloween photos of decorated homes & disguised trick-or-treaters just may be seen on these pages!  A progressive open house near the holidays would be cozy, as would dinner parties among neighbors – some to host & some to delight in being served, and definitely spur of the moment sledding parties when the snow hits, with neighbors bringing hot cider and cookies!

Thank you to all who participated in the poll to determine the time & day of our celebration – the poll worked well, and we can use that technology in the future. 

The Climber is ready for play!  Even without our “celebration.”   I enjoyed the sight of a lot of kids and parents together at the park on Friday afternoon.

Information is upcoming about an opportunity for yard bark!
Go Seahawks!

Neighborhood Celebration - Sunday 22nd 4:00-6:00pm

Hellooooo Illahee!
If it is not raining... 
Come out to our Illahee Park this Sunday 4-6pm. Bring finger food or drinks for 12 people (appetizer, dessert, any finger food of your choice) to share. 
 
Sports fans:  Join us when the Seahawks have wrapped up! Should be shortly past 4! 
 
Basketball:  We'll have some sort of 3 on 3 contest on the short court, bring your game! 
 
Bike races:  We will block off a segment of road for just a few minutes at a time for kids' bike races, organized by age group, 3-18.  We will need volunteers along the routes to hold traffic & watch driveways.  The 13-18 year old categories are dependent on volunteers.  More volunteers are needed for the 13-18 year olds who would use longer courses including the 2 major intersections :) 
 
Chalk Art Contest:  Draw anytime from 4-5:30, and at 5:40 winners in age categories (including adults!) will be announced.  Bring your chalk or use some that we round up!  Can I have volunteers for the judging team? 
 
Playground:  Try our new Sierra Climber! The existing playground equipment has also been repaired.  Great reason to celebrate! 
 
Clean up:  Even the youngest of us is old enough to clean up :) 
 
Any other activities? If you'd like to organize softball or frisbee or volleyball or a plant-swap, or any other activity, we'd love it, let us know! 
 
We hope to see you this Sunday 4-6pm at our park! 
Your 2013 HOA Board, 
Jeannine Pound, Aparna Nene, Shantanu Sardesai
