Crystal Ridge Storm Cleanup Plan
from Snow / Ice / Wind Damage

Please check back for updates

Feb 11-12 - Flyer - Last week’s snow and ice storm caused widespread tree damage, including broken and fallen limbs. The City of Puyallup has informed the HOA Board that clearing of debris is our responsibility. In order to facilitate this process in an efficient and cost effective manner, the CRHOA Board will have a chipper and a truck in the neighborhood on Feb 11-12 beginning at 9 am and will have a crew ready to assist in disposing of tree debris. Our plan is to start at the entrance on Crystal Ridge Drive, and make our way through the neighborhood.

We ask that you assist the neighborhood by bringing all tree debris to the chipper when it reaches your area on that day. Whoever is able, please help those who are not physically able to discard their own debris. If you’d like to help, please meet at 9:00 am at the corner of Crystal Ridge Dr. and 20^th on each of these days. Please bring rakes, brooms, chain saws, and wear gloves and eye and ear protection.

Thank you for doing your part to help us restore our neighborhood to its original beauty.

Racoon Danger    Flyer

A Message from the Crystal Ridge Homeowners Association

We have had several raccoon sightings in our Crystal Ridge neighborhood over the past few months, and interaction with raccoons can be potentially dangerous to you, your children, and small pets.   Please, do not leave out any food sources. Eliminate outdoor garbage, pet food, bird feed, and

Please, do NOT feed any raccoons!

Racoon scat (feces) often contains a parasite that transmits the potentially fatal disease of baylisascaris procyonis, which can lead to brain damage, deafness, blindness, or severe disability --see the following link
http://www.medicinenet.com/
--also see the following link to recognize tracks/scat in your own backyard

Help to keep all of our families safe

---- According to the City of Puyallup, "they do not handle racoons". You can contact Washington Dept of Fish & Wildlife 1-877-933-9847.
