About Me


I have created (with lots of help) this blog site SURFSIDE CHAT.
I am the host of this blog site.  I saw a need for a place that members could share information and make comments.  I strive to provide information about our organization that is not readily  available elsewhere.

I have lived at 1302 324th Place in Surfside for over 15 years.  I am widowed and retired from 30 years in retail management. (hardware & garden store)  I moved here from Clark County in Washington.  I was born and raised at Lacamas Lake in Camas Washington.  As a youngster, many trips were made to the beach to dig clams.  Over 45 years ago I lived in Sea View and Ocean Park for a brief time.  During that time I worked in the oyster industry.  I witnessed the initial construction of Surfside.

I love living in Surfside and especially all the nice people here.  I have been an active member of the association working to maintain and improve  Surfside for all members.  My past Surfside activities include;  Community Relations Committee, Secretary on Water/Field Services Committee and Chairperson of the Land & Buildings Committee.  I designed the landscaping and parking at Twin Lakes Cabana.  At the request of a past Board President I  formulated the concept and design for the Veterans Park at 306th and I street with the flag and memorial plaque.  Working with the previous General Manager I was able to have cross walks installed on I Street.  I am also the founder and chairperson of the Neighborhood Watch program in Surfside.  Working with the county, I was able to get additional shoulder white paint stripes along the streets from J Place to the compactor.

I was appointed and elected to the Surfside Board in 2010 and 2011.  Surfside has been a big part of my life and I have enjoyed being able to contribute what I could.   I take many pictures of Surfside events which are posted on this site and in the Weekender.

Elected to the Board on 7/11/2015
Elected as Board Secretary on 7/11/2015
Resigned from the Board on 9/29/2017

My hobby and pretty much my life are working in my flowers.  It is my sincere hope that this blog site can be a source of information and a place where members can share their thoughts with others.

George I just wanted to let you know that as of the middle of this month the foreclosure is averted. I am still selling and getting out of HISHOA(Hell In Surfside Homeowners Association). I am however while packing up going to become very involved in changing some of the state laws involving HOA's. I am also going to help you with your recording issues with them. I will be calling you to talk about this because I need your help with information.

Linda - HOA'S are under the auspice's of the Secretary of State.

Her name is Kim Wyman and she can be reached at 360-902-4151. Her email address is kim.wyman@sos.wa.gov

You can also Google rcw in Washington state for valuable information.

You can call Dean Takko's office or other state representatives for help and information.

Hope this is helpful.
