The following forms are available through your account portal under "Documents->Forms".  They are fillable PDFs.

ACH Form  This is to set up auto withdrawal using  the "ACH/EFT" tab on the main account menu.  Going through this tab to set it up will not result in any extra charge for the service.

CCR Violation and Fine Appeal Form  Use this form if you want to dispute a violation, agree that there is a violation but wish to request an extension on remedying the violation, or when you have remedied a violation and wish to request a waiver of fines association with the violation.  

Complaint Form Use this form to lodge a complaint against a fellow resident for violation of a CCR or Guideline.  You will be asked to cite the CCR or Guideline violated.  (Our governing documents are searchable, both here and on your account portal.)  All information on who has filed complaints is kept anonymous.

Payment Plan Agreement Form  This form is used for setting up a payment plan if you have fallen behind on your account.  The manager will present it to the Board for approval/denial.  Having a payment plan in place to get caught up will help you avoid late fees, late fee letter administration fees, and interest charges if you follow through, although there is still a fee for administration of the plan.

NOTE:  Documents are searchable PDFs, but Firefox doesn't always play nice.  If the search icon doesn't come up, using "CTRL+F" will do the same thing.

Articles of Incorporation

This is the original document that created our Association.

************

Covenants, Conditions, & Restrictions (Declaration)

This is the bedrock set of rules governing the functioning of the Association, created by the developer as a condition of being allowed to build,  filed 10/14/2005 before the development even was built.

Guidelines Rules and Enforcement 10.21.21

This document is a "shorthand" version of the CCRs, interpreting how particular items will be enforced, and addressing issues not on the radar at the time of incorporation.  It was created by the Board of Directors.

These are the original detailed maps of the HOA that are filed with the Thurston County Auditor.  Each is a set of maps with multiple pages of varying detail and scale.  (The maps are shown sideways, which is a pain, but that is how they are on the TCA website, from where they were downloaded.) 

Division 1 Plat Map     Balustrade to Radius (and the storm ponds between Radius and the train tracks) Rainier Rd. to Prism

Division 2 Plat Map      Balustrade to Radius, Stone to Balustrade/Radius intersection

Division 3 Plat Map    Balustrade to 66th AVENUE SE; Rainier Rd. to Bailey St., 66th WAY, Breeze St, and Fresco St.  (The Bailey/66th Street/Breeze/Fresco edge is a bit tricky!)

Here is the original concept map for the whole Horizon Pointe complex of six divisions.  Our HOA comprises only I, II, and III.  See "About" for more on the crazy history!

SPORTS

Main state university rivalry:  The University of Washington (UW; “the U-Dub”) is in Seattle, with satellite branches in several cities, mascot Husky (“Huskies” or “Dawgs”), colors are purple and gold VS. Washington State University (WSU; “wa-ZOO”) is in Pullman across the state by the Idaho border, also with satellite campuses, mascot Cougar (“the Cougs”), colors crimson and white.  It is (largely) a friendly rivalry.  The annual football match is the Apple Cup at the end of the season and alternates cities for location.  (Other State-sponsored colleges are:  The Evergreen State College, right here in Olympia; attendees/alumni are known as “Greenies.”  Western Washington University up north in Bellingham, nearly to the Canadian border.  Central Washington University is just over the Cascade mountains east in Ellensburg.  Eastern Washington University is all the way across the state in Cheney, nearly to Spokane, which sits at the Idaho border.)

NFL team:  Seattle Seahawks (“the Hawks”); colors blue, silver, and bright green; their arena is Lumen Field (formerly known as and still often referred to as Century Link.)  Teams are only allowed 11 men on the field, but the Seattle fans have a legendary record of being so loud that they came to be known collectively as the “12^th man”, and fans often proudly wear the number on jerseys.  (In the Kingdome, the original stadium for the Seahawks, the fans could make so much noise stomping that it would register on the seismographs at the UW.)

MLB team:  Seattle Mariners (“the M’s”); mascot the Mariner Moose; colors navy blue, “northwest green”, and metallic silver; official cap insignia is a compass over a baseball on a silver S, but an “M” in the shape of an upside-down trident is commonly used on fan apparel.  They play in T-Mobile Park which has a retractable roof.  They have a AAA team, the Tacoma Rainiers, who play at Cheney Stadium in Tacoma.

MLS team:  Seattle Sounders; mascot Sammy the Sounder, an orca whale; colors bright blue and green, team symbol incorporates the Seattle Space Needle.  They play at Lumen Field.  Comedian Drew Carey is one of the owners.

NWSL team:  OL Reign; colors blue, white, and gold; symbol is a stylized lion (which replaced the older badge showing a queen with a crown.)  They play at Lumen Field.

NHL team:  Seattle Kraken; colors “deep sea blue, ice blue, boundless blue, and red alert” (we’re not making this up!); symbol is a stylized, divided light blue S representing a tentacle, with a red eye in the top curve.  The kraken is a legendary sea monster of enormous size reputed to bring down entire ships.  They play at Climate Pledge Arena.  (Not making that name up, either!)

Miscellaneous facts:

-For gardening, we are considered USDA Hardiness Zones 8a and 8b. 

-Western Washington does not have rattlesnakes or any other venomous snakes.

- Western Washington does not have medically-concerning venomous spiders apart from a few small populations of black widows here or there or (around Seattle) a garden spider called the yellow sac spider.  Although hobo spiders may be found, they are shy and reluctant biters, and their venom is no worse than the general run of spiders.  The occasional brown recluse has inadvertently been imported in produce or products from other parts of the country, but it is not native here. The ginormous slightly hairy brown/grey spiders that may venture out into your house in the mid-summer to early fall are giant house spiders (eratigena atrica) and they are NOT dangerous.  Although big and ugly enough to give you a heart attack, with up to a 4” leg span, they are highly beneficial.  The males generally only venture out during mating season looking for love. 

-There ARE ticks in Western Washington, though they are not widespread.  Lyme is exceedingly rare, but other tick-borne illnesses are more common.  If you like camping, do your tick inspections!

-Fleas are common, but one yard may have a lot of them while the neighbors have few.

-The big hedge bushes with reddish leaves that are everywhere are photonia (foe-TIN-ee-uh).  The common groundcover with the tiny, round, deep green leaves and small, bright red berries is cotoneaster (kuh-TONE-ee-ASS-ter). 

-The difference between rhododendrons (road-o-DEN-druns) and azaleas (uh-ZAY-lee-uhs) is mostly one of size.  Rhodies have stouter and fewer stems to their bushes and grow larger.  Much, much larger.  Their flowers are also larger.  Both put on very showy blooms in spring in a wide variety of colors.  If you have a rhodie and want to keep it small(er), break off the new tips that form after flowering. 

What is…/what does …. mean?:

-“You guys” addresses any plural of people, male, female, or mixed.  (“Y’all” is understood, but most folks here get lost at “all y’all”.)

-We use shopping carts at the store, not “buggies”.  Buggies are for dolls to ride in.

-“Pop” is a generic for soda or soft drinks; sometimes even “Coke” is used this way.

-Interstate Highways are referred to as “I-(#)” – as in “I-5”, not “the 5”.  (Looking at you, Californians!)

-“Doing the Puyallup” refers to going to the Western Washington State Fair, which is held in Puyallup for three weeks every September.  School children will be given free tickets to attend. 

-“The mountain is out today!” refers to Mt. Rainier, which we usually keep wrapped in clouds to hide it from tourists so they’ll doubt whether is actually exists.  Mt. St. Helens is NOT visible from here, even in good weather, being 2.5 hours south.  (Well worth the drive to go see, however.)

-The “Tacoma Dome” is a concrete-lidded stadium in Tacoma that hosts concerts, conventions, boat shows, garden shows, monster truck rallies, motocross, and other events.  (The Kingdome was in Seattle and served the same purpose, as well as being the home field for the Seahawks and Mariners but was demolished in 2000.)

-The raised bumps on the highways are for the benefit of our blind drivers. (OK, no, actually, those are used because they are more visible in rain than paint stripes.)   The little stick off the side of our steering column is the “turn confirmator”, which, if used at all, is turned on to confirm that one is making the turn one is already making.  (There is a chronic shortage of blinker fluid here, though, so many people use this tool very sparingly.)

-The “Western Washington Rain Festival” runs from October through May.

-“Yakistan” refers to Army field training in Yakima in the south-central part of the state.

-“Permadrizzle” is more than mist and less than rain but will still get you wet if you’re out in it long enough.  (Native Washingtonians seldom use umbrellas.)

-Western Washingtonians don’t tan; they rust. 

-Real coffee is “leaded”; “unleaded” is the opposite. 

- The frequently seen macramé-type hangings of a woven circle, often adorned with beads or feathers, that may be used as wall-hangings, jewelry, rear-view mirror danglies, or other, are known as “dream catchers”, and are of indigenous origin now popularized. 

“The trestle won again!”  There is a local road (Mullen Rd. SE) running under a low railroad trestle, and people driving delivery trucks are constantly challenging it for dominance.  They lose, turning their boxcars into flatbeds.

-"the convergence zone" refers to the trough of WA that runs between the Cascade Mountains to the east and the Olympic Mountains to the west.  Weather systems approaching from the ocean hit the Olympics and may go south around them and come up north, go north around them and come down south, or may split and go around to meet in the middle.  This makes predicting the weather in this "convergence zone" so difficult!

-Why is JBLM sometimes called Ft. Lewis?  For many decades, there were two separate bases - Fort Lewis Army Base and McChord Air Force Base.  Back in 2010, for budgetary efficiency reasons, the two were merged and became Joint Base Lewis-McChord.  So, people who have been here since before then still tend to refer to it as just Fort Lewis.  When firing exercises are being held, when the weather is right, it will shake the windows here like a sonic boom!
