Adopting a pet changes two lives, theirs and yours! Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) was formed in 2010 as a partnership between King County and 24 cities. Since then, they’ve cared for thousands of cats and dogs each year, giving homeless pets a safe place until they find their forever families.
Here are a few simple ways you can make a difference for animals in our community:
Adopt: Every adoption gives a pet a second chance at love and care.
License: Licensing and adoption fees help support shelter services for animals in need.
Volunteer: Give your time to help provide daily care and companionship for pets.
Foster: Open your home temporarily to give pets a safe, loving place while they wait for adoption.
Donate: Supplies or funds go directly toward animal care and shelter programs.
Together, we can help RASKC continue its amazing work and give more pets the chance to find their forever homes. Check out the adoptable pets here: Pets for adoption
Let’s give these pets the happy homes they deserve!
To help everyone enjoy our beautiful new sport court and keep it in great condition, we’ve posted rules at two locations, one at the entrance gate and another near the bench. We kindly ask for your cooperation in following these guidelines so the court remains a safe and fun space for all. Thank you in advance for your support!
Sport Court Rules:
Use the court at your own risk
No food, glass, or alcoholic beverages
No pets allowed
No bicycles, rollerblades, or skateboards
Proper footwear required
Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult
Court use is for residents and their guests only
Do not abuse the net or other equipment
Court hours: 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM
We truly appreciate everyone doing their part to take care of this great new community space. Let’s enjoy it together for years to come!
The lock on the sports court gate has been replaced, and a new entry code is now in use. For security reasons, the combination will not be shared by email or posted online, as the previous code was given out to non-residents. Please note that the code may be updated again in the future.
Unfortunately, we recently had to repair part of the new court after skateboarders left marks on the surface. We’ve had reports of residents bringing their dogs into the sport court to run and play, which also can result in damage to the playing surface. To protect this community investment, please remember:
The court is for the exclusive use of Ridge homeowners.
Guests are welcome, but only when accompanied by a homeowner.
The lock combination should not be shared with guests or non-residents.
Signs with the full court rules will be posted soon.
If you’d like to play tennis or pickleball and need the code, please contact:

We hope you enjoy the upgraded court, thank you for helping us keep it in great condition!
This year’s National Night Out at The Ridge was a great success! On August 5th, neighbors gathered at the Big Park Pavilion to enjoy good food, great company, and the shared spirit that makes our community so special.
Residents enjoyed delicious pizza, cold beverages, and an amazing variety of desserts and appetizers generously brought by residents. The laughter, conversations, and friendly smiles filled the evening with warmth and connection.
A big thank-you to everyone who came out, contributed food, and helped make the event such a memorable one. Your participation is what makes The Ridge a vibrant and welcoming place to live.
We look forward to continuing this tradition and hope to see you all again next year!
We’re excited to share the successful opening of the newly resurfaced Ridge sport court, a major project that’s now complete. It was a big undertaking, but the result is a fantastic new space for residents to enjoy.
To celebrate, we hosted two evening events that brought the community together for some friendly competition and fun.
Both events saw a great turnout, with residents of all ages joining in to play. The new layout, including a second pickleball court, was a hit! A big thank you to Mike Hoefel and Bruce Kannenberg for sharing their tennis and pickleball expertise, and for their outstanding efforts in hosting and organizing these fantastic events.
We’re thankful to everyone who came out and helped make the celebration a great success. Many residents shared their appreciation for the HOA’s investment in this upgraded community space, recognizing the long-term value it brings to The Ridge.
Whether you’re a beginner, a seasoned player, or just stopping by to connect with neighbors, we encourage you to take advantage of this exciting new amenity.
We’ve created a new page on our website—Board Meeting Agenda—to help keep all residents informed about upcoming board meetings. Each time a meeting is scheduled, the agenda will be posted on that page in advance so you can see what topics will be discussed.
Going forward, we encourage all residents to check the Ridge Board Meeting Agenda page regularly to stay up to date. You will find it under the Board info tab in the header. Or you can click the button below. Your awareness and involvement help strengthen our community.
We’re excited to celebrate the grand reopening of the newly renovated tennis and pickleball court and you’re invited!

We want to alert you to a recent security concern shared by one of our residents. On Monday, July 15 at 8:34 PM, a homeowner in Division 2 reported a strange man walking through their backyard. The incident was captured on their home security camera, and while they were not home at the time, they received an alert and reviewed the footage remotely.
The resident noted that their home is not on a main street and is surrounded by neighbors on all sides. They’re asking if anyone in the community recognizes this individual.
We urge all Ridge residents to remain alert. If you see suspicious activity or someone trespassing on your property, please take action immediately by contacting:
We’re excited to invite all Ridge residents to our annual National Night Out celebration on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, from 6:00 PM- 8:00 PM at the Big Park Pavilion.
National Night Out is more than just a neighborhood get-together, it’s a nationwide effort to promote community spirit, strengthen relationships among neighbors, and reinforce the connection between residents and local law enforcement and safety organizations.
We’ll be serving pizza and cold bottled water, so you don’t need to worry about dinner. We kindly ask each household to bring a dessert or appetizer to share, sweet or savory, homemade or store-bought, everything is welcome and appreciated!
Since seating at the pavilion is limited, please bring folding chairs so you’ll have a comfortable place to sit and enjoy the evening.
We hope you’ll join us for this fun and meaningful night of community connection. Whether you’re new to The Ridge or have lived here for years, National Night Out is a great way to connect, unwind, and celebrate the place we all call home!
We’ve noticed more uncollected dog waste around the Ridge, and we’re asking for everyone’s help to keep our community clean and enjoyable for all.
We’ll be addressing this issue at the Annual Meeting on Wednesday, we hope you’ll join us. Afterward, we’ll send out a reminder with clear expectations:
Always pick up after your pets
Use the bags at our two pet waste stations (which will be restocked regularly)
Report ongoing issues to the Board—photos help!
If you see someone not picking up after their dog, consider speaking up in the moment, kindly but firmly. If the issue continues, please report it to the Board. A photo can be helpful in identifying repeat violations so we can follow up and take appropriate action.
We’re also working to understand whether the issue involves Ridge residents, visitors, or both, so we can respond appropriately without creating conflict between neighbors.
Let’s all do our part to keep the Ridge clean, respectful, and welcoming.
