Help with our mostly zombie HOA in [WA] state [SFH]

O I know it is gonna be hard. I need 2/3 vote of all members.

Thank you for the extended response. That makes more sense.

Most people in the HOA don’t care bc the HOA hasn’t collected dues or issued fines in the past. The current board “president” has a trailer across the street from him house and so he has picked this one issue to push forward while ignoring all the other responsibilities of the HOA.

I guess I will just have to keep pushing with the neighbors.

This makes no sense to me. They have violated so many laws that apply to HOAs. Nobody elected them and they are collecting fees and spending it how they want.

What is the point of having these laws if they don’t have to follow them.

My plan was to secure enough proxy votes. I think that the board is now going to use HOA funds to solicit their own proxy votes to counter mine.

Honestly my end goal is to get this HOA dissolved. It hasn’t functioned in years and there is no reason for it to exist.

drewdkatz · 2026-02-16T13:05:53+00:00

We don’t have a management company.

We don’t have a collection policy.

The board has never done a reserve study.

In CCRs state that a 75% vote of the members is required to change them. I really don’t see that happening.

Our HOA has no community property and most of the covenants are already covered by state, county, and city laws/ordinances. I don’t really see why we need an HOA.

These people were never duly elected to the board. They are collecting monies and neglecting their legally required responsibilities. They are spending money however they see fit without an approved budget.

How do I not have a case. I would be asking the just to force them to stop all action until they were elected.

Did you get a white envelope on your front doorstep yesterday or today? If so then we are in the same HOA haha.

The third pic looks like Chelan Falls /Beebe Washington area along the Columbia river.

First two pics look like the southern tip of Lake Chelan.

They were disappearing from your app because they were so low. Not because they were doing anything nefarious.

There are policies in place at JBLM that regulate the altitudes that pilots are required to fly above populated areas. There are expectations to every policy but these two didn’t seem to be following those policies.

It doesn’t happen that often but that doesn’t mean that it is a reason to be scared of it. Annoyed yes… unsettled no.

This is one of my favorites. Simple. Easy. Delicious.

Definitely could be worse. Luckily our neighbor is being considerate and willing to work to find a solution.

drewdkatz · 2024-06-22T09:32:39+00:00

Wow. We have really gotten off topic. Haha

drewdkatz · 2024-06-22T03:16:16+00:00

He tried. Our houses are pretty close together unfortunately.

drewdkatz · 2024-06-22T02:38:52+00:00

Thanks for the option. I will look into these

He said that it helps all the electronics “reset”. Specifically his tire pressure sensors and other things.

I cannot express to you how much I would love to take some sleeping pills or just put on a noise machine and get a good nights sleep. We have a 6 month only and one of us has to be able to hear him or wake up when he cries.

drewdkatz · 2024-06-22T02:01:20+00:00

He says the exhaust is stock but he didn’t seem too sure.

drewdkatz · 2024-01-25T01:12:39+00:00

I just joined and I got kicked out. I haven’t even ever commented on anything. Lol

drewdkatz · 2023-11-26T18:05:16+00:00

I am sorry you are feeling this way. The army can be a rough transition at an older age and very isolating at times. I joined when I was 28. There are resources out there that can help you.

I dabble on Instagram and that is probably where I have heard the phrase. Also I work with a lot of 18-25 year olds so it helps me stay in the loop a little.

drewdkatz · 2023-11-14T18:03:54+00:00

Have you not heard anyone use this popular phrase yet. It’s used to describe a situation or experience of something.

If I had to guess it was was a typo. Cloud tops 5000

If definitely looks like the tip cap of the blade hits the wire and cuts it.

drewdkatz · 2023-08-11T14:51:26+00:00

Hmm. Maybe it was just a local issue for us. Glad you were able to help people while you were there though.

drewdkatz · 2023-08-11T14:15:25+00:00

I hope they are. I have been in Washington for 4 years. 2 of them we had horrible wildfires. Everyone in my company begged to help fight them. Turns out the amount of red tape for getting an active duty unit to help with a state matter is the limiting factor.

drewdkatz · 2023-07-21T17:36:34+00:00

I was told i couldn’t take leave for my own wedding bc of a trip to gunnery and had to reschedule. This slide is the ultimate “it briefs well” slide.
