As always, dial 911 for any serious emergency. For everything else, we’ve gathered the security resources available to Ridge homeowners in one place: the new Security Information page, which you’ll now find in the menu at the top of this site.
Here’s a quick look at what’s there.
F-Dub Security Services is our contracted security patrol. Call them to report suspicious activity or security concerns in the neighborhood.
Eyes on Federal Way is a great resource for non-emergency problems around the city: potholes, abandoned shopping carts, garbage in the streets, street maintenance, street light requests, downed trees, and other quality-of-life issues. The app uses GPS to recognize your location, gives you a menu of common issue types to select from, and lets you upload pictures with your request. You can also track the status of reports submitted by you or other members of the community.
Privacy note: Posts on Eyes on Federal Way are not anonymous by default. If you would like to keep your name off the public report, be sure to select “Yes” when asked if you want to hide your identity.
Location note: The map pin defaults to your current location, not where your photo was taken. If you snap a picture at the scene but submit the report later from home, the pin will land on your house unless you move it. Before publishing, double check that the pin is placed on the location of the issue you are reporting.
You can also call departments directly at City Hall for information on any municipal service, or to report a problem within city limits.

We’re excited to bring Ridge neighbors together for our annual National Night Out celebration on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM at the Big Park Pavilion.
National Night Out is a wonderful opportunity to strengthen our sense of community, get to know neighbors, and build connections that make The Ridge such a special place to call home. It’s also part of a nationwide initiative that encourages partnerships between communities and local public safety organizations.
Dinner is covered! We’ll be providing pizza and bottled water for everyone to enjoy. We invite each household to bring a favorite dessert or appetizer to share, whether homemade or store bought, sweet or savory, every contribution is appreciated.
To help everyone stay comfortable, please bring folding chairs, as pavilion seating is limited.
Whether you’re a longtime resident or new to the neighborhood, National Night Out is the perfect chance to meet neighbors, catch up with friends, and enjoy a fun summer evening together.
We hope to see you there for a great night of food, community, and connection!
The Ridge Annual Yard Sale is about a month away, a great opportunity to declutter, connect with neighbors, and maybe even find a hidden treasure or two.
Now is the perfect time to start planning and gathering up items to sell. Whether you’re looking to lighten your load or simply enjoy the day with your neighbors, it’s always a fun community event.
Date: Saturday, July 18th Time: 8:30 AM – 3:30 PM
We’re looking forward to a great turnout and hope to see you out there!
As many of you have likely noticed, fiber cable installation work is currently taking place throughout the Ridge. These installation companies have been granted easements (public rights-of-way) by the City of Federal Way to perform this work. While the HOA did not authorize or approve the construction, the City issued permits allow the work to proceed without HOA approval.
Residents may notice impacts to landscaping, sidewalks, and areas near the curb as construction continues. We have been advised that contractors are expected to restore affected areas to their original condition following installation. However, there may be instances where restoration work does not fully return an area to its prior condition.
The Ridge HOA Annual Meeting and Board Elections will be held on Wednesday, July 8th, at 6:00 PM at the pavilion in the Ridge’s Big Park.
During the meeting, we will review the accomplishments of the past year, hear our Treasurer’s annual report, discuss plans for the coming year, and introduce the Board’s nominees. There will also be an opportunity for homeowners to ask questions and share any comments or concerns.
Your Ridge HOA Board has been hard at work implementing a multi-phase plan to enhance the beauty, usability, and long-term sustainability of the Big Park. We wanted to share an update on the progress made so far and what’s still to come.
Work related to new fiber optic internet infrastructure has recently begun throughout Federal Way, and in The Ridge, and residents may begin noticing construction activity in and around the neighborhood.
You may see construction notices posted on doors, utility markings on streets and sidewalks, and work crews operating in and around the neighborhood. At times, this work may require temporary street closures, detours, or temporary on street parking restrictions.
We’re excited to share that a second pickleball net has now been added to the sports court! The new net can be easily moved into position by two or more people, allowing residents to set up two pickleball courts for play. After use, please return the net to the southwest corner of the sports court for storage.
In addition, the dividing net used to separate the two pickleball courts has also been installed. To use the divider net:
Release the calipers from their secured position on the east side of the fence
Pull the cords across the court
Connect them to the loops on the west side
Pull the separation netting into place
When finished, please return the divider net to its proper storage position.
We appreciate everyone’s help in taking care of the equipment and keeping the sports court organized and ready for all residents to enjoy. Have fun and enjoy the expanded pickleball setup!
We’re excited to share that we have three special events planned for this summer, be sure to mark your calendars! More details will be coming soon. We look forward to seeing everyone there and enjoying these events together!

With two roundabouts serving as key entry points into the Ridge, we thought it would be helpful to share a quick refresher on how to navigate them safely and smoothly.
Roundabout Basics:
Yield to traffic already in the roundabout. Vehicles inside the circle have the right of way.
Slow down as you approach. This gives you time to assess traffic and enter safely.
Enter when clear. Don’t stop once you’re inside, keep moving with the flow of traffic.
Use your turn signal when exiting. This helps other drivers anticipate your movement.
Be mindful of pedestrians. Always yield to anyone crossing at designated crosswalks.
Roundabouts are designed to reduce accidents and improve traffic flow, but they only work well when everyone follows the same rules.
We’ve included a short video below as a helpful visual guide on how to properly navigate a roundabout. https://youtu.be/46mOPz3rhHs
Let’s all do our part to keep our neighborhood safe, efficient, and stress-free for everyone!
