Registered Sex Offender & Kidnapping Unit

Sex offenders have always lived in our communities. However, it wasn't until passage of the Community Protection Act of 1990 (which mandates sex offender registration and community notification) that law enforcement agencies routinely tracked where sex offenders were living.

The Snohomish County Sheriff's Office is releasing information on registered sex offenders in Snohomish County in accordance with the Community Protection Act of 1990 and related statutes. This information is not intended to create alarm or panic. Our intent is to inform our citizens and to enhance community safety and awareness.

Find out where they are here: http://www.icrimewatch.net/index.php?AgencyID=54487

What Bordeaux HOA Learned From Our Mayor Ray Stephanson

A couple of the Bordeaux HOA members attended the Silver Lake Association meeting and had a chance to meet our Mayor Ray Stephanson.

It was a great night and we were able to get a lot of our questions answered about the future of Everett.

I'll try and send some more specific's in an email to you soon; but the short and skinny is that the City of Everett is and will continue to be a great place to live and our home values WILL go back up eventually!

Everett Police Department Crime Prevention Unit

The City of Everett Police Department distributes Crime Alerts
to warn community members of crimes in areas within our
community. Bulletins are not issued to cause alarm or panic, but
offers information and tips to help you avoid becoming victimized.
Please consider the following information.

You can find them on the Everett Police's website
http://www.everettwa.org/default.aspx?id=53

Recommendations:
◊ Lock your doors & windows when leaving your home.
◊ Use wooden dowels or secondary locking
mechanisms on windows.
◊ Make your home appear occupied at all times.
◊ Install a monitored alarm system from a reputable
company.
◊ Upgrade locking mechanisms to defeat bump keying.
◊ Close the window blinds.
For emergencies, call 911

Winterized Irrigation System

fyi; Our Irrigation System has been winterized and we look forward to this spring where we will once again have our park looking great. Our Landscaper will work with us to re-seed all of the areas the grass was dugout for the irrigation pipes and we are still planning on adding new tree's to compensate for the tree's that were cut down.

Block Watch Update

We have noticed a decrease in activity because of all our community efforts to put a stop to crime in our HOA.

Please continue to call the police or contact Geri Pentz at Samaras Associates if you see anything out of the ordinary. Even the small things have turned out to be factors in why we have seen this decrease in activity. We all need to work together to make sure our homes and community are safe.

Below is our Block Watch contact from the Everett Police station.

If you want to have a direct contact with the Everett Police instead of calling 911 feel free to contact him and let him know what is going on; he is our direct line to the police and is on our side. The board and Eddie are the reason more police have been driving through our community lately and the main reason we have so many Neighborhood Watch sign's throughout our community.

Emergency Preparedness

Disaster can strike quickly and without warning. It can force you to evacuate your neighborhood or confine you to your home. What would you do if basic services such as water, gas, electricity or telephones were cut off? You and your family need to be prepared to take care of yourselves for three days or more following a major disaster.

The City of Everett Office of Emergency Management is responsible for preparing the city and its residents for disasters.

City Emergency Plans
The City of Everett Office of Emergency Management has developed the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan for the City of Everett. This plan provides a framework on how government will prepare for, respond to and recover from an emergency.

Please also keep a home survival kit in your home

Silver Lake Neighborhood

Silver Lake
The Silver Lake neighborhood gets its name from its close proximity to Silver Lake. It is located at the southernmost tip of the city of Everett on the eastern border of I-5.

Approximate boundaries for the neighborhood are I-5 on the west, 132nd Street on the south, the terminus of 19th Avenue (SR-527) and Bothell-Everett Highway on the north, and 35th Avenue on the east.

The neighborhood is comprised of single-family homes, apartments, condos and neighborhood businesses.

Boundaries:
North - 100th Place SE
East - Lowell-Larimer Road
South - 132ND Street SE
West - Interstate 5

http://www.everettwa.org/default.aspx?ID=201

Historic Places
Most historic buildings in the area have been demolished over time, including a roller skating rink that was located just south of today’s Thornton Sullivan Park.

The only remaining structure of significance is the domed building, circa 1930’s or 1940’s, at the southern end of Thornton Sullivan Park. The Everett Parks Department is studying options for restoration and use of the building for the public.

Meeting Info

When: 7 p.m. on the first Thursday of each month except AUgst and December. Special meetings are called as events dictate.

Where: Silverlake Childcare Center, 11525 19th (corner Bothell Everett Hwy and 116th)

Points of Interest

Silver Lake
The key point of interest in our neighborhood is Silver Lake itself. It continues today to provide regional recreational opportunities and scenic beauty within an urban setting.

Parks
Green Lantern Park is located on the northeast side of the lake and has fishing spots available.

Hauge Homestead Park, on the southeastern side, is on the original site of one of the first homesteads and the later site of the amusement park established by Mr. Hauge’s descendents.

Thornton Sullivan Park, on the west side, has many recreational opportunities, such as day camps for children, swimming and elementary sail boating. In the summer, the Parks Department hosts “Under the Stars,” a program of outdoor movies for children, at Thornton Sullivan Park.

Boating
The Boating Association hosts an annual boat race each summer for adults and children. The Hawaiian Long Boat Association uses the lake for boating practice and hosting luaus in the summer.

Fishing
There are two fishing piers on the lake and more currently under construction. When the 19th Avenue highway-widening project is complete, the new piers and a walking trail around the northern and eastern perimeter of the lake will be opened. Public parking is available at Thornton Sullivan Park and Hauge Homestead Park.

Restaurants
There are two sit-down restaurants with a view of the lake: Emory’s on Silver Lake, 11830 19th Avenue, and Romio’s, 11223 19th Avenue.

Roller skating is available at the Skate Deck, 9700 19th Avenue S.E.

Improvement Projects

A work party placed fencing around trees on the lake to protect them from being cut down by the resident beavers. The group successfully negotiated with an apartment developer to deed over 1,000 feet of shoreline to the City as development mitigation.

Neighborhood History
The area around Silver Lake was settled in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s by four homesteads. Mr. Casper, an early resident, established a small lumber mill at the southern end of the lake to take advantage of timber extraction.

By the early part of the 1900’s, Silver Lake had become a recreational focal point for Seattleites and surrounding communities. Recreational homes were built, including businesses that provided bootleg alcohol during prohibition. It is also reported that there was at least one brothel in the area.

The descendants of the Hauges, one of the original homestead families, established a lake front amusement park on the southeastern shore, including water slides, boating opportunities and other amusement park amenities.

Schools & Services

Elementary schools:
• Jefferson, 2500 Cadet Way
• Silver Lake, 12815 19th Avenue S.E.
• James Monroe, 10901 27th Avenue S.E.

Middle school:

• Alterra Clare Bridge Alzheimer Care Facility, 2015 Lake Heights Dr.

Issues & Concerns

One of the goals of our neighborhood group is to encourage the protection of the water quality of Silver Lake so it continues to be a viable scenic and recreational resource. Responsible development has been and continues to be an issue related to the aesthetics and livability of the area.

Neighborhood news
The Silver Lake Neighborhood produces a newsletter to keep residents informed about neighborhood news. Click below for the most recent newsletters

Neighborhood grants
Everett residents who want to foster a greater sense of community can apply for City grant money to enhance their neighborhoods. These grants help neighbors build better parks, host National Night Out events, improve communication, and much more. Many community improvements have been made through grant-funded neighborhood volunteer action.

http://www.everettwa.org/default.aspx?ID=177

Community Sparks
Inspired by the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods’ Small Sparks Funds, Everett launched a grant program that matches neighborhood funds.

The Community Sparks grant enables individual residents to work on projects that:
• build better connections between residents,
• foster a greater sense of community and
• attract people to participate in the life of the neighborhood.

Community Sparks grants are $250, matched by volunteer labor or donations.

Past projects
• Intergenerational birdhouse project at a local elementary school
• National Night Out event at a multicultural neighborhood center
• Compost workshops
• Neighborhood sign making

Mini Grants
Mini Grants enable Everett’s 19 neighborhood associations to obtain City matching funds to carry out projects to benefit the community, enhance the neighborhood, or foster better neighbor connections.

Residents volunteer their time, valued at $14 per hour, to match the City grant. Each neighborhood association can receive up to $2,235 per year for projects.

Thanks to the efforts of many volunteers, dozens of neighborhood projects occur every year.

Neighborhood associations
Everett is divided into 19 neighborhoods, each of which has its own neighborhood association. As independent entities, the neighborhood associations work to enhance their neighborhoods, support participation in city government and foster a greater sense of community among Everett residents

Re: Potential Drug House

I support a meeting to discuss this issue also. It is better to be proactive rather than reactive when it's too late.

Hi All,

This is a very serious concern in our neighborhood. I have equally noticed a lot of traffic even in the late hours of the night in our neighborhood that are not necessarily from this area.

I think we all have a moral responsibility to make sure that this neighborhood with so many young kids is protected from drugs and or violence.  We cannot be silence with what we all seems to have witnessed in our neighborhood.

I would suggest we convey an emergency meeting of all the neigbors and discuss this before it goes out of control. I feel there is a threat we should confront now before it is too late.

Just a thought..

Dear Bordeaux HOA:


Blog Update: http://bordeauxassociation.blogspot.com/





One drug house in a neighborhood has the potential to affect the quality of
life for everyone in our neighborhood. If a drug house crops up in our
neighborhood, most people notice it immediately because of all of the
negative effects it has on the entire area. Increased crime, foot and
vehicle traffic, and suspicious people loitering are all common side effects
of a drug house. Being an alert and involved neighbor may help identify the
problem early, and keep it from getting out of hand. If you see something
out of the ordinary please call the police so they can start to monitor the
traffic and put an end to any criminal activity.



We have had a few complaints of a potential drug house in our community so
please be on the lookout for anything unusual and call our Everett Police
Crime Prevention unit at 425-257-7497 or 911. We have dedicated Police staff
that our Block Watch program allows us to work with to put an end to these
type of situations quickly.



Most often, people suspecting a drug house in their neighborhood will first
notice an excessive amount of foot and/or vehicle traffic coming and going
from the location. Keep in mind that traffic in and out of a particular
residence does not necessarily mean that the location is a drug house. It
might be an indicator, but there are many residents who simply have lots of
visitors and are not involved in drug activity.

The Everett Police Department combats drug houses from two fronts. Our
patrol officers will often watch drug houses and make contacts with people
coming and going from a location. Sometimes those contacts lead to arrests,
and information is provided to the officers about what is going on inside
the residence. That information may then be passed on to our Anti-Crime Team
(ACT) or the Snohomish County Regional Narcotics Task Force.



If an arrest for drugs is made on the property, or we can directly relate
the arrest to the property, the Everett Police Department also follows up
with civil enforcement. That is where our sector Administrative Sergeant's
fit in. Our sectors Administrative Sergeants create a file on drug-related
arrests on the property, and then they work with the City Attorney's Office
to send the owner a drug nuisance abatement warning letter.

This letter advises the owner of the property that there was a drug-related
arrest on their property, and directs them to contact one of the two
Administrative Sergeants. The Administrative Sergeant then works with the
property owner to correct the problem; be it closely monitoring the
property, or evicting the tenants.



As a resident of a neighborhood, there are some things you should be looking
for if you suspect a drug house. Excessive foot traffic to and from a house,
loitering around a house, frequent short stay traffic, hand to hand
exchanges of drugs or money, and a sudden increase in crime in the area are
just a few. If there is a drug house in your neighborhood, you will usually
see several of these factors present.



If you suspect a drug house in our community, you should report any
suspicious activity to the police department. If it is in progress, it
should be reported to 911. If it is not in progress, it can be reported to
the sector Administrative Sergeant. Being aware of what is going on in your
neighborhood, and not being afraid to get involved are critical components
to keeping this kind of activity out of your neighborhood.



Vehicle Theft



Vehicle theft has been on the rise everywhere and it's a problem that's not
going to go away until we as a community commit to protecting our vehicles.
As colder weather approaches, so does the temptation to warm up your car in
the morning. Leaving your car running unattended –even for just a few
minutes, leaves you wide open for auto theft. Many have felt the sinking
feeling that comes with returning to find their car has been stolen. If you
like to warm up your car in the morning, prior to leaving for work, make a
commitment to stay with it. If you find yourself making a quick trip into a
convenience store for coffee, always turn off and lock your vehicle. Most
car thieves are opportunistic and it takes Just Seconds to drive your car
away. Steering wheel locking clubs and car alarms are effective auto-theft
deterrent devices that can help protect your vehicle.

Waste Management Issue is resolved for park bins

For all of the homeowners that have a garage facing the common area park; Please put all Garbage and Recycle bins on the side of the road nearest to the common park. Yard Waste Bins need to go on the main road so as to minimize the amount of traffic/damage to our private road.

Sorry the Waste Management company seems to have not remembered our agreement. They have temporary people working for them and our contact from WM who the board signed an agreement allowing their trucks in our park was not in effect. This is why you were receiving the notices on your recycle bins and notes in your garbage bins.

I have spoken with our new contact from WM and we are back in agreement that we will line up our garbage and recycle bins on one side of the street nearest to the park.

We are doing this because last year when we all just put our garbage, recycle and yard waste bins in front our homes; the trucks would come through our private road 6 times and would sit idle for extended periods of time. This caused over $500 of damage to our asphalt which came our of all of our pockets.

We tried to get Waste Management to pay for the damage and they denied our claim; they also made us sign a waiver allowing them to drive their trucks down our private road otherwise we all would have to drag our bins out to the main road.

Thank you for helping keep our asphalt in the best shape it can be for as long as we can keep it that way! It's in your best interest to do so as any repair that need's to be done will come out of all of our pockets.

Operation Identification (Write down your serial number of all your stuff)

Operation Identification, known as Operation ID, is a burglary prevention
program for use in homes and businesses. Operation ID has traditionally
involved marking property with a Drivers License Number to identify
property and to discourage burglary and theft. This process is time
consuming and discourages many well intentioned participants. However,
Operation ID has evolved with new technology for easier completion. Following are the easy steps to complete Operation ID:

Photo document your personal property with pictures and/or video tape. Digital photography
allows quick picture taking and easy storage. Start with overview photographs of a room (wall by
wall, ceiling to floor) before taking close-ups of specific property. Take pictures showing brand
names and type before photographing the serial number. Items that were previously discouraged
from engraving (collectibles, furs, art, antiques, china, and jewelry) can be documented in larger
groups with a tape measure to provide scale. Remember to document each room, all closets,
shelves, the garage and vehicles.

Document your personal belongings on paper or with a computer. Include the quantity of items,
item name/description, make and/or model, serial number, purchase cost, and purchase year.
The Everett Police Department provides a brochure (Operation ID) for this process.
After documenting property, store photographs and inventory sheet, along with receipts of major
purchases, in a secure place (safe-deposit box). Review and update inventory annually. Display
the Operation ID sticker near perimeter doors and windows to let potential burglars know your
property is documented.
Engraving your property with a Drivers License
Number or Tax ID Number is a good practice and
is encouraged. If taken and found, property can be
traced back to you.

Residential Security - CPTED Basics

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is a crime
prevention concept used to evaluate the physical security of structures.
When implemented, CPTED can lead to a reduction of fear and incidence
of crime while improving quality of life. Using basic CPTED principles,
your home security can be evaluated and vulnerable areas managed.

Every environment has three types of people who interact with the space in some way. There are normal
users, abnormal users, and observers. Normal users are people we desire to use a location, abnormal users
are people who should not be at a location, and observers are anyone who can see a location but are not using
it. CPTED concepts promote normal users to enjoy space, encourage abnormal users to move along, and keep
environments easily seen by observers who enhance security by reporting suspicious and criminal activity.

Natural Surveillance is the ability to see into
and out of an area which is the crucial component of
security. Crooks don’t want to be seen committing
crimes. Use natural surveillance by trimming
back vegetation and landscaping to eliminate
areas of potential concealment. Keep shrubs and
bushes trimmed below ground level windows and
trees pruned above eye level. Use outside lighting
at night to enhance lighting in dark areas around
your property. Humans are inherently curious
about suspicious activity and tend to notice
things out of the ordinary. When neighbors look
out their window at 2 a.m., it is advantageous
if your home can be seen clearly. Also, consider
the benefi ts of police offi cers patrolling your
neighborhood at night and observing your residence.

Territorial Behavior is the psychological
impression received by users of your space.
Perception is a powerful crime prevention tool.
Communities with rundown dwellings, whether
it be overgrown landscaping or peeling paint,
exhibit the impression of apathy and indifference.
If the owners don’t care, why would anyone else?
Abnormal users take advantage of areas like
these and use them for illicit activity. A common
example is public parks in disrepair where criminal
activity is rampant and conducted in the open.

Natural Access Control is managing entrance
to defi ned areas. Control may be achieved with
fences, gates, and even landscaping. A classic
example is the fenced backyard with a gate. The
fence sends the message that their is only one
access point and permission is needed to enter the
private property. Even simple low-level hedges or
rows of bushes effectively control and keep people
out. Common access controls for a residence
include adding security strike plates with threeinch
screws on exterior doors and secondary locks
on windows and sliders. Locks may be inexpensive
wooden dowels. When considering how and where
to protect yourself, remember that criminals prey on
opportunity. Remove opportunity!
Access control devices should not overshadow the
importance of surveillance. When possible, install
control devices which permit sight to the other side.
Examples include wrought iron or chain link fencing.
