Welcome to Huntington Park West

Each owner is a member of the Association, which is operated in accordance with the laws of Washington State (RCW 64.38). Covenants on the owner’s property, Association Bylaws, Resolutions, Policies and Rules are the basis upon which Huntington Park West is governed. 

A nine-member Board of Directors is responsible for the business matters of the park and for the maintenance of common areas and facilities. The Board is elected by the residents and consists of nine residents who serve staggered 3-year terms. The Board, in turn, elects the officers every year. Each Board member, in turn, selects a few of the park committees for which he/she assumes a directorship role. The Board meets the third Wednesday of each month and meetings are open to all residents. 

The Board, with the help of the Finance Committee, prepares the annual budget and establishes the monthly assessment, which is ratified by the members at the annual meeting in November. If a special assessment is requested for an unexpected expenditure, membership approval is also required. Also at the annual meeting, the Board reviews the prior year’s activities including financial status and discusses current year plans and the budget. Members can raise questions, propose and vote on motions, vote for new Board members, and deal with other matters of interest in a parliamentary meeting.

Huntington Park West employs an association manager and an assistant association manager with offices in the clubhouse. They support the day-to-day operations. The monthly Huntington Park Newsletter keeps residents informed on business and social activities.

The Covenants dictate strict control of the architectural aspects of the park. Architectural Control Committee (ACC) approval is required before changes can be made to building exteriors, paint, roof colors, and hardscape installations. Residents are required to submit a design plan for ACC approval including materials before significant changes can be made to landscaping, such as tree removal. 

The ACC conducts an annual inspection and informs homeowners of maintenance issues that may require corrective action. Enforcement of the Covenants by various volunteer committees ensures that the park appearance will be properly maintained and property values enhanced. 

A lawn care program provides mowing, edging and fertilizing. Cost of this service is included in the monthly assessment. Other yard maintenance is the responsibility of the homeowner such as thatching, aeration, and top dressing with compost.
