Big Changes in the Neighborhood!

Over the past few days, we’ve received notice that no less than four member families are selling their homes and relocating outside our community. 


All of these families, each in their own way, have had a significant impact on our neighborhood. I’d like to express appreciation for having had the pleasure of their presence in our community. I’m also supplying hotlinks to their property listing in hope that remaining neighbors will encourage other wonderful families to consider a move to Angle Lake and to become active members in our community.   

The Bells. During their time here, they’ve invested enormous time and energy upgrading this colonial style home both on the inside and as well as the abundant flowering beds and impeccably maintained grounds. The Bells had hosted the ALSC Christmas party previously and brought family to participate in many of the ALSC Club events.

The Minnihans. When first locating to our community, they moved into a home with spectacular ‘Twin Views’ of the Lake and of the Kent Valley feature Mount Rainier in the background! They have since converted the site to feature a wonderful customer built home with many, many unique features. The Minnihan’s had for many years hosted the ALSC 4th of July Swim and Boat Races and also hosted the Christmas Party in their recently built home.

The Becks. Once a bare piece of property, when Mrs. Beck saw Mt Rainier presiding over the lake view she immediately knew she wanted her next home here! A custom built, spacious home with rich features gives this residence a warm and comfortable environment to live in. Both have been previous members of the Angle Lake Manor HOA leadership team and have participated on the ALSC Board almost as long as they’ve lived here. They have been extremely generous in giving of their time toward the community and for bringing new event ideas to the club.

The Langs. This family is among the elite that can nearly be considered ‘pioneer members’ of the club having moved here in the 50s including serving as president of the ALSC. The Langs have the dubious honor of being recognized as the go to folks for the BIG A$$ coffee pot featured at our ALSC events! The home they are leaving has grown in synch with the growing number of Lang family members.  Sitting on a nearly ¾ acre lot there is still plenty of room to enjoy outside this spacious home.

Each of these families will be sorely missed however we wish them the absolute best in the next chapter of their lives.  We hope that you’ll consider a return visit during any of our future ALSC events.

Good Luck on your move!

Let's Kick Some Trash!

It's time to get tough on the litter cluttering our streets and shoreline!

Members from the Angle Lake Community will gather at the public park boat launch at 9 am to collect pickers, trash bags, gloves and instructions before setting out for the annual Angle Lake Clean Sweep Volunteer Event! 
DATE: Saturday, July 22nd
EVENT: 9:00 AM until 1:00 PM
VOLUNTEER LUNCH AND RAFFLE PRIZE DRAWING 
IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING

The City of SeaTac Parks and Recreation Department will be issuing garbage bags and collection tools to the group to assist in their effort to scour the public spaces on the southwest end of the lake to rid the area of the litter. If you've traveled this end of the lake you might have noticed the positive impact the team had on the area last year but an enormous job still remains to gather all the trash remaining and new trash that has accumulated in this area. However, the more hands that turn out to help the fewer burdens this will be on each of us individually.

The volunteers will be split up into groups where walkers will be assigned to concentrate on picking up litter in the streets, on shore and along the beach, while waders and snorkelers will be committed to clearing the shallow water of trash and the adventurous individuals decked out in full scuba gear will gather debris from the deep!


TERRESTRIALS:
Volunteers who like it dry picking up trash on land or along the beach

AMPHIBIANS:
Volunteers who prefer it a little wet!  Wade and/or snorkel in the shallow waters recovering debris

AQUANAUTS:
These folks do it deeper!
Fully outfitted scuba divers will comb the lake bottom for garbage of any size.


Although the bulk of organized effort will be focused mainly on the SW end of the lake, it is not our intent to discourage residents from taking their own initiative in collecting litter from their area and bringing it to the park boat ramp prior to 12:00 noon where the City will assist in disposing of it. Please contact Lynne (lynnewithagrin@gmail.com) if you are aware of or need assistance with any large items (dock materials excluded).

Immediately following the event, participants will gather at the Manor Club Private Beach where the Angle Lake Shore Club will serve up lunch as a display of appreciation for their volunteer efforts. We'll also have a Raffle drawing for prizes – must be present to win.

This is a good opportunity to get outdoors to enjoy some nice weather, teaming up with your neighbors in doing great things for the community and receiving a free lunch and possibly winning a valuable prize!
