Outside Appearances of Homes

Dear Marymoor Hill HOA Members,

We live in a beautiful neighborhood that has served us all well as our homes have continued to increase in value thanks to the work we have all put into it.  We Have an HOA for the benefit of all us to help ensure our whole neighborhood is maintained up to our established standards that now have us a neighborhood of $2 Million homes.  Most of us take great pride in maintaining and improving the appearance of our home.  Some more than others, but we have an HOA with rules to help ensure we all at least maintain our property for the overall good of our neighborhood.  For example, regarding the Outside Appearance of our Property:

OUTSIDE APPEARANCES

Each Lot Owner shall maintain and keep her/his Lot in a clean, neat,
sanitary, weeded, mowed, trimmed and otherwise well-maintained
condition at all times.  This includes making prompt repairs to the
house and to the fences around and between the houses and
replacing fences on the Lot that have deteriorated.

The Board asks you to please take a look and make sure that you are staying on top of the upkeep of the exterior appearance of your property. 

Thank you,

Board of Directors
Marymoor Hill Divisions 1 and 2 Homeowners Association

Mailbox Cluster Box Units to be Replaced

If your mailbox is located in one of the cluster box units (CBUs) circled in red on the map below, your mailbox CBU is going to be replaced in the near future.

These CBUs are being replaced with a newer style of CBU that is slightly more secure than the old style of CBU, making them less vulnerable to break-in/mail theft.

The new CBU will have the same number of mailboxes with identical numbering.  Your mailbox number will not change, but you will receive three new keys for your new mailbox lock.

If you have not done so already, please send an email to the HOA (info(at)marymoorhillhoa.org) and let us know which CBU your mailbox is located in and which mailbox number is yours.  This information will be needed when it comes time to distribute the new keys.

CBU Locations:

•  162ND AVE NE SIDEWALK
•  164TH CT NE CUL-DE-SAC ISLAND
•  LOWER NE 50TH ST CUL-DE-SAC ISLAND

The CBUs will probably be replaced in about one month.  The HOA will send out emails and update this post as the installation date nears.

UPDATE 3/12/2025:  The new cluster box units are scheduled to be installed on Thursday, March 13, 2025.  There will be a day or two of disruption to your mail delivery, but normal mail delivery will likely resume on Friday, March 14, 2025.

(Note:  If your CBU is at the south end of 162ND CT NE or on the sidewalk of the upper NE 50TH ST, your CBU has already been replaced with one of the newer style CBUs.)

HOA notice regarding mailboxes.

Following the recent break-in of one of the HOA's mailbox clusterbox units, the HOA Board of Directors offers these suggestions:

1. If you see someone breaking into one of the mailbox units, please call 911 and report it to the police. Please DO NOT CONFRONT the perpetrator. Nothing in the mailbox is worth risking your life over.

2. Promptly retrieve your mail from your box after delivery each day.

3. If you are going to be away, put in a USPS Vacation Hold with the United States Postal Service or have a friend or neighbor retrieve your mail each day you are gone.

4. Do not use the outbound mail slot for anything that is important or of value. It would be best to deposit your outbound mail at a United States Post Office.

5. Sign up for USPS Informed Delivery so you know what mail to expect to be delivered each day.

Mailbox CBU broken into on 8/6/2024

The mailbox cluster box unit (CBU) at the south end of 162ND CT NE was broken into on August 6, 2024.

The HOA is working to file an insurance claim to have the CBU replaced as soon as possible. Once the box is replaced, new mailbox keys will be distributed to HOA members with a tenant mailbox in this CBU.

Current estimate is approximately 5 weeks for the installation of the replacement CBU.

UPDATE 8/15/2024:  The new mailbox shipped from the factory on 8/14/2024 and is tentatively due to arrive at the installer's place of business on 8/20/2024.  Hopefully the new box will be installed within 7 - 10 days after it is delivered.

UPDATE 8/22/2024:  The new mailbox is scheduled to be installed on 8/23/2024.  Once the new box is installed the HOA will have new keys to distribute to HOA members with a tenant mailbox in this unit.  Email the HOA to set up a time to have the new keys dropped off at your house.

UPDATE 8/23/2024:  The new mailbox has been installed, the USPS has installed the postal lock, and normal mail delivery should resume.  If you have not received your new mailbox keys, please email the HOA to set up a time to receive them.
