Events

Held at the Phoenix Inn on the 26th.  Begins at 5:30 p.m. at 415 Capitol Way N, Olympia  (360) 570-0555.  Sorry – hotel rooms are completely sold out this evening.   Cost is $30-$35 and is hosted by multiple organizations.

Our Board Meeting is Friday, January 27, the morning after Legislative Day.  Begins at 8:00 a.m. at the Phoenix Hotel.

Day on the Hill is a day devoted to meeting with Washington State legislators in Olympia.

Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to meet face to face with elected officials. You can make individual appointments with your legislators, or you can meet with legislators as part of a group of other SCAOA members and other local housing association members.

Please Be Advised:  No Olympia Parking Available at 1500 Water Street

Dear WAA Members:  Due to a new landlord policy, with a new “family property management team,” they have implemented a policy that if you do not live in the building you cannot utilize the parking of the building at 1500 Water
Street SW, Olympia, WA (which has been the usual parking space available to you).

We obviously regret that we can no longer park at the site and it seems that the local neighborhoods are curtailing parking for those that are not all year round residence.

Your best option is the visitors parking, which is on the corner of Capital and 15^th Avenue SW.  Attached is also a campus map, detailing visitors parking.

Dear WAA Members:
Please see the email below regarding the next Washington Rental Housing Industry Coalition meeting which is scheduled on Thursday, November 17th from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. at Holiday Inn – Renton located at 1 South Grady Way, Renton, WA 98055.
Please see below to register for the meeting.

Many thanks.

Dear WAA Members:

I’m inviting you to a fundraising  lunch for Sen. Jeff Baxter (R) who represents the 4^th  District in Spokane.

Sen. Baxter is being  supported by our industry and we urge that  if you are in the Spokane area or anywhere else to join us on:

Thursday, October 20  at 12:00 p.m.

Ramada Spokane/Airport

8909 W Airport Dr., Spokane, WA 99224

Luncheon orders will be selected off the menu and you will pay at the event.

He is a member of the  following Committees:

• Senate Ways & Means Committee,
• Judiciary Committee &
• Human Services & Corrections Committee

Anyone of these committees  has a direct or indirect impact on our industry.

We are also issuing  invitations to all Republican State Senators and House Members in the Spokane  area to join us at this event as each guest will have an opportunity to talk  about their industry especially with the November 28^th 30 day  special session, which will take into consideration a $1.4 billion dollar  revenue shortfall and the possibilities of raising taxes through a referendum  ballot that will likely go to the vote of the people in February 2012.

Any size donation is appreciated but not necessary to attend the event.

Please RSVP to me at mgjurasic@comcast.net
