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

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.

Neighborhood grants

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.
