Finishing work on roundabout

Work has restarted on the Sequim-Dungeness Way — Woodcock Road roundabout. The work is projected to last from April 27 through May 5, depending on weather, recalcitrant Canada geese, and maybe an invasion of militant gerbils. There may be traffic delays.

If you want to avoid the construction, the attached map (based on Google Maps) shows three different paths into and out of Sunland North:
 
Yellow — take a right on Woodcock Road to the first intersection, turn left (north) on Taylor Ranch Road, and you will end up on Sequim-Dungeness Way heading north. From there you can continue on to Anderson Road, Three Cays Road-Old Olympic Highway, and, eventually, Port Angeles. Or, in reverse order, reach here.
 
Red — take a right on Woodcock Road and continue as it loops south to Holland Road. From there you can reach Port Williams Road, where turning right (west) will take you into Sequim, or turning left (east) will take you to Schmuck Road and, possibly, a herd of elk.
 
Green — head south and up Blakely Blvd to upper Sunland. Turn west (right) onto Fairway Drive, and it will loop around to end at Taylor Road. Take a right on Taylor and that will take you to Sequim-Dungeness Way and, eventually, Sequim.
 
Above all, exercise patience.

Sunland North meetings, website

January 14, 2022

This message has two announcements. First, the February 2022 Board meeting will be held virtually via Zoom. We have had a number of members express concerns about meeting in person, especially given the county’s very high rate of virus transmission and strained health services. Accordingly, the February 9 in-person Board meeting will be moved to Zoom (and telephone), with the Zoom link and agenda sent out a few days before the meeting.

Second: the Sunland North website will undergo maintenance, including a visual redesign, this Saturday. If all goes well, the majority of the work should be completed over several hours, with nips and tucks taking place over subsequent days. If things go badly, it will take longer. The work is designed to overcome security and integrity issues with the software that runs the site, and constraints on how things appear. In other words, this is a non-trivial change.
 
Below are two images, one of https://sunlandnorthownersassociation.com today and one of how it should look post-maintenance. The content should be the same, but the navigation is consolidated in a vertical menu on the right, images will be a bit larger, and it should be much more secure and work much better on smartphones and tablets.

Sunland North Owner Directory

January 12, 2022

Attached please find the Sunland North Owner Directory. It is in order by street address, on the assumption that it is easy to do a document search to find someone named “Smith” but not nearly as easy to find the name of the person who lives across the street.

 
Sunland Division 17 is required by law to keep a current listing of the names, addresses, phone numbers, and other contact and emergency contact information of our residents. This need was tragically reinforced last year with the collapse of the condominium in Florida last year, and the numerous wildfire, flood, tornado and other disasters, most of which resulted in great uncertainty as to the identity of residents at any given time. For these and other reasons, please keep us informed of the names of all residents, phone numbers, mailing addresses, and emergency contact information. If you drop your landline telephone, or change the number on your mobile phone, or get a new email address, or change your emergency contact information, please inform us via the Owner Contact Form on the Forms section of our website,
 
 
This directory will have errors, as some information will be out of date. Please use the contact form linked above to send us corrections.
 
Finally, please note that this information is confidential, and should not be shared with non-residents, or used for any purpose other than neighborly and Sunland North official business.
 
[If you are a Sunland North owner and did not get a copy of the directory, please write to secretary@sunlandnorth.org]
