Serving the Village of Port Ludlow since 1998
From the Manager

Although the Beach Club is not open, there continues to be a lot going on within Ludlow Maintenance Commission (LMC), the North Bay homeowners’ association. Currently, contractors are working in the LMC RV storage lots, replacing the chain-link fencing, and upgrading the storage space electrical system and overhead lighting. We hope to be able to start moving our owners back into the storage lots mid-April.

Realistic Challenges
For most of the past year, the Covid-19 virus has run wild in the US population. We are now at risk for more virulent and/or communicable mutations of the virus (a.k.a, “variants”). This risk is based upon the math: the more opportunities the virus has to replicate, the more variants are produced. Not all variants are worse than the original, but some are. More dangerous variants occur when there are more mutations. Right now, we don’t know to what extent current vaccines can protect us from these emerging mutations.
Continue reading “South Bay Community Association Update”The long-time vision of the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe has become a reality. 7 Cedars’ 100-room hotel opened August 4 without a grand opening—rather, with 16 socially distanced and invitation-only Covid-19 appropriate events, including a traditional blessing of the hotel and our newest totem gracing the entrance.
The Port Ludlow Art League (PLAL) Gallery will be open for Valentine’s Day shopping on the first two Thursdays and Fridays in February from noon to 4:00 p.m. in accordance with Governor Inslee’s Healthy Washington guidelines. The gallery offers unique gifts, including jewelry, photographs, ceramics, paintings, baskets, cards, books, and woodworking pieces.
To continue providing college scholarships to local high school graduating seniors, PLAL artists have created original works of art on 6″ x 6″ plaques, selling for $20. All proceeds go directly into the PLAL Scholarship Fund. These plaques can be purchased online at portludlowart.org and at the gallery, which is next to the Sound Community Bank, at the corner of Oak Bay Road and Osprey Ridge Drive in Port Ludlow. For more information, please email info@portludlowart.org.

The 2021 budget is $30,000 less than approved for 2020, and the assessment is $20,000 less than the assessment collected in 2020. If there is a shortfall between budgeted expenses and 2021 revenue, the district will tap its reserve account. Each landowner within the drainage district boundary supports the operation through the assessment amount collected by Jefferson County Assessor’s Office as part of county property taxes.
