Blue Stake Markings

We want to help shed some light on the blue stake process that is taking place when you or a neighbor order services from a gas, water, or communications provider.

While it can be an inconvenience to incur trenching, flagging, or street markings, blue staking is necessary and required by law to ensure that you are not inflicting injury or impacting major services in your neighborhood. Click here to learn more.

Citrus Pickers

If you have citrus that needs to be picked, Sun Lakes Citrus Sharers are looking for you. This group picks the fruit off your trees and donates the citrus to St. Mary’s Food Bank and last year they donated over 200,000 pounds. Only a few spots remain, so call Laura at 206.228.5155 to check on space and schedule.

Fountain at Robson Entrance

The iconic fountain at the EJ Robson entrance (Palms 7) has been inoperable for a while. We are working with a vendor and are anxiously awaiting the new fountain from the Galaxy series, including majestic nozzle selections to arrive soon. The vendor is finalizing the release and production. We have been assured the wait will be worth it.

Be aware if you are around the tennis courts and the Oakwood Clubhouse, traffic will be heavy and you may need to allow more time to find parking.

Watch Now!

Scam Alert

Any time you are on your phone/iPad/desktop you should be aware of where you are clicking/tapping. Many scams look like “official” news or products. These sites quickly take you through a process getting you to sign up for a service, and you may have a difficult time canceling. One notorious free trial provider is Starller.com. It begins with a 5-day free trial and in some smartphone instances, your credit card may already be saved. We have instances where auto-renewing fees are $49.95 and up.

What to do:

  • Check your billing/bank statement monthly.
  • Notify your bank or credit card provider – they can block payments due to the payments being authorized under false pretenses.
  • Look for a cancellation link and attempt to cancel.
  • File complaints with the FTC, BBB, and IC3.gove (Internet Complaint Center).
  • Click here and read more.

Signage

Guidelines for signage in your yards and for golf course lots can be found here.

Signs predominantly can only be in front yards, with the exception of security and political signs.
