Ocean Shores Events: Independence Day ~ July 4, 2013


OCEAN SHORES EVENTS/NEWS
 
Celebrate 4th of July on the Beaches of Ocean Shores, WA
 
 
July 4, 2013 ~ Independence Day fell on a Thursday this year and it was packed. We saw beautifully sunny skies, but some wind. Independence Day is one of the greatest and most amazing sites visitors and locals can see along the beaches of Ocean Shores and the North Beach. The beaches are lined with cars and people packing it in as nighttime approaches. The fireworks can be heard as the days lead up to the 4th, but America's birthday brings the most unbelievable sites you will see as the sky is lit up with tons of colorful fireworks. There are personal firework displays one right after the other. The Casino puts on a firework display too. I saw the fireworks from a different vantage point this year...looking at the fireworks shooting off on the Beach behind the hotels (taken from the Downtown Golf Course area on Minard Ave). I was also able to get some great shots overseeing the action on the beach from my Chevy Tahoe. To all of those who have not spent July 4th in Ocean Shores -- you must come out and see it for yourself.

OCEAN SHORES EVENTS   Five Star Dealerships Sand & Sawdust Festival 2014     June 27th-29th ~ The annual Five Star Dealerships Sand & Sawdust Festival was held over the weekend. The weather was lovely with sun and some clouds and warm days. The Team Competition for the sand sculptures did not turn out so well this year because the event overseers did not look at the tide tables and so, the teams did not even get to finish before the tides came in and started to ruin their progress. But we still were able to see some of the works of sand art. Wood carvers were doing a great job at the Convention Center.  There were lots of vendors too.

Ocean Shores News: Street LID Update ~ October 27, 2010

OCEAN SHORES NEWS Ocean Shores Street LID As of October 27, 2010 October 27, 2010 ~ The City Council passed a resolution regarding the Findings & Conclusions to the Street LID on October 21st. Very few changes were made to the original assessment role dated August 1, 2010 (produced by Macaulay & Associates, Everett, WA). You can see the 5-page resolution passed by the City Council at http://oceanshores.fileprosite.com/Documents/DocumentDisplay.aspx?ID=17006 . The document named some changes to assessments to 9 property owners who protested their assessments. The City Council also stated that the RCW says that the City can use any method or combination of methods to compute assessments. So yes, the State law does say that, but it does not give the City Council a right to disregard the 900+ protests that clearly stated over and over again, including by me, the incorrect valuation determined by Macaulay & Associates and the inequitable distribution of the LID assessment amou...
