How To Appeal a Fine
Covenant enforcement is a very big deal and can lead to large fines. It is important to respond to the board if you feel that an error was made, or if you need to request an extension. Learn more about Lakemoor Community Club covenants here.
The Ken Lake LCC provides an appeal form, which can be filled out and returned to VIS at info@vismangement.com. Please complete this step promptly.


Sunshine Laws and Our HOA
Sunshine laws are rules that make decision-making easy for the public to see. In Washington, two sets of rules often get mixed together:
The Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA, RCW 42.30)
The Homeowners’ Association Act (RCW 64.38)
Only the second one applies to HOAs, but both help us understand how meetings should work and how to keep things open and clear for everyone.
This article explains what each law does and what it means for our meetings, hybrid formats, a


After the Storm
The lake is refilling, and with flood warnings throughout the county, we thought it was a good moment to highlight our stormwater system here in Ken Lake.
Ken Lake has 14 stormwater catch basins, each about the size of a dining table. These basins drain into the lake, which is why the Lake Committee recommends limiting fertilizers and chemical treatments.
It is everyone's responsibility to keep storm drains clear.


Caring for Ken Lake Together
Throughout the meeting, one theme came through clearly: the lake is a shared resource, and its care is a shared responsibility.


Recap of the November 25, 2025 Executive Session
We attended the Nov 25th Executive Session so you don't have to! We'll cover the issues and include a little background for each, as well as questions we have as we move forward.


From Crisis Messaging to Calm Governance
When the tone changes overnight from “existential threat” to “open discussion,” it’s worth asking:
Was the pre-election messaging truly about policy, or about winning? What other choices were made in pursuit of your vote?


What We're Choosing to Focus On
No matter how this election turns out, we’ll still see each other around the lake, and we’ll still wave as we pass by. That’s what makes this community special — and worth taking care of, together.


Ken Lake Parks for Ken Lake Residents
The parks are private to the Ken Lake community — let's keep the parks private.


The 8th Candidate
Last month, while seven familiar names appeared on the ballot for the board election, there was supposed to be an eighth. Toni Holm.

Let's Talk About It
Make Ken Lake Boring Again This is a guest post written by Elle Burger Every election season, things get a little louder. Flyers show up, letters circulate, and suddenly our quiet neighborhood feels like a campaign battleground. It's exciting, and a little overwhelming! If you’ve seen recent messages that use fear or blame to rally support, you’re not alone. They’re full of emotion — and emotion spreads faster than information. But here’s what we’ve learned: community is buil


Is MultiFamily Housing Happening?
Our neighborhood deserves a smart strategy for long term protection.


Building a Better Budget
By voting no on the proposed 2026 budget and supporting this community-driven alternative, you’re voting for:
Fiscal responsibility without a dues increase.
Empowering volunteers.
Compassionate solutions over punitive enforcement.
A stronger, more united Ken Lake.


Evan Clifthorne: On the Record.
My, oh my. This week many Ken Lake homeowners received a flyer at their door from a group of candidates, with a long list of complaints about me personally. It's sad to have to deal with more nonsense and negativity, but I felt it was important to set the record straight. No, I do not support building multiplexes in Ken Lake , and no I do not support changes to zoning in Ken Lake, or anything of the sort. I also do not support opening our parks to the public , and I am not at
