GRAYS HARBOR COMMUNITY HOSPITAL
Making communities better places.
When Seabrook founders Laura and Casey Roloff first came to the Washington Coast in 2002, they saw that the area had many economic challenges after the core industries relating to timber had been reduced to almost nothing.
Struck by the beauty of the rugged Washington Coast, they had a vision to build a new beach town. Along with it came the idea to give back to the neighboring communities and they created what today is the Seabrook Community Foundation. “We simply wanted to leave the surrounding towns and villages in a better place than when we came to this coast in 2002,” said Laura Roloff. “We decided to use Seabrook as a vehicle to improve the lives of others in and around Grays Harbor. We have appointed a board made up of local residents as well as Seabrook residents with specialized backgrounds to ensure that these funds are put in the right places. They have been doing a great job.” For each property that is sold at Seabrook, 1% of the sale goes to the
Seabrook Community Foundation. That money is then awarded to non-profit organizations within Grays Harbor County.
The foundation was built to partner with local non-profits in an effort to expose them to a larger audience using Seabrook as their stage. The Foundation not only supports infrastructure improvements for local non-profits, but sponsors events that bring even more attention to their causes thus attracting more contributions. The hope is that these community events will give people more reasons to come to the Washington Coast. This not only has a positive economic impact on surrounding businesses but also raises more awareness to the needs of this coastline. Last year, approximately $80,000 was awarded, said Foundation president, Mim Groesse. To date the Seabrook Foundation has accumulated over $1 million dollars. Some of these dollars have been deployed already to the community and the board continues to review grant requests that match
mission of the goals of the Foundation.
The Foundation is comprised of six members. Groesse who resides in Pacific Beach, Paul Dockendorf of Moclips, Tim Kerr and Jeff Feldman of Seabrook and Seattle, Helen Gilbert of Pacific Beach and Britta Folden of Aberdeen. The Foundation board has hired Seabrook homeowner Jim Whitney as administrator. The members meet quarterly and discuss the merits of each application. So far this year, the Foundation has granted $10,000 to Habitat for Humanity and $15,000 to the Grays Harbor Community Hospital Cardiac Care Campaign. Seabrook also partnered with Grays Harbor Habitat for Humanity for a women’s build and ladies tea. Just recently in June, the Grays Harbor Community Hospital sponsored Seabrook’s “We HEART Dads” fun run during Father’s Day weekend. More than 100 runners showed up for the run.

Other recipients from past years have included United Way of Grays Harbor, Grays Harbor County CASA, Lighthouse Mentoring Project at North Beach High School, Coastal Harvest Food Bank, A.J. West Elementary School, and North Beach PAWS Animal Shelter.
Furthermore, the Seabrook Community Foundation awarded $1000 scholarships to seven students from North Beach High School graduates: Natalie Guerin, Paola Robles, Nicklaus Falley, Hadley Moore, Kasey Hearn, Breeanna Chaney, Shyanne Morrow.

Balance.
In all things Seabrook, we appreciate balance. It is something that is adhered to by Trista NesbitEvans and her husband, Brian Evans, owners of the recently opened Red Velvet Bakery by the Sea and the soon-to-be-opened Rusty Anchor Fitness in Seabrook’s new retail district along Meriweather Street. Drawn together by the love of fitness, music, traveling and being active, Trista says she and Brian are don’tjust-talk-about-it, do-it kind of people. Which is why they are here today, with one shop open and the other well on its way. The two recently became parents of Nash, a happy 15-month-old who, one week after being born on the side of the highway, underwent open heart surgery. Nash has become their inspiration for taking advantage of the adage, ‘life is short.’ “We inspire each other to work hard, seize

the moment – and Nash is a big part of that,” said Trista.
Having a supportive family was a large factor in making the decision to move to Seabrook. Trista learned to cook early on from her mother and grandmother. After spending many hours in the kitchen honing her recipes, her delicious pies, jams, and other baked goods have quickly become the talk-of-the-town at Seabrook
“We have tremendous support,” explains Trista of her extended family and two older children. Andin (9) and Gage (12) are already enjoying summer in full swing at Seabrook. Everyone is ready to help out at the bakery when needed as well.

Creative Crafts Places like Seabrook are a mecca for creative souls. The story of Crafty Christine, one of our Seabrook homeowners, is a wonderful example of people that enrich the lives of others.She gets asked how she ended up at Seabrook every single day. Her story and the story about her store, Siren Salvage, is a fascinating one. Crafty, as she is known, was born and raised in North Seattle. Encouraged by her mother to custom-make gifts for her family members each Christmas, the tradition of including sand and sea themes in her work never left her It was a wedding gift which brought Christine and her husband Steve to Seabrook, coming from an unlikely source - her Seattle mailman, Seabrook homeowner. By year’s end, they made an offer on their Seabrook vacation home. During the home-purchasing process, Crafty began offering classes with Make and Take Stepping Stones. As interest grew, she decided to expand the business from a tent to her Craft Cottage. The following winter, Crafty hosted a holiday open house in her 600 sq ft cottage that was very well attended. “It was quite cozy!” she said. Soon it was time to move Siren Salvage to a bigger space. Inspired by Seaside, Fla. which has an entire row of Airstream shops, she began looking into Airstream trailers nearby. Right away she found the perfect one that happened to be located just five blocks from her house in Seattle! Crafty worked on it tirelessly for six weeks – painting, detailing, replacing and retrofitting parts. As soon as it was ready, it made its journey to the beach. Today, Crafty Christine’s Airstream shines bright at the end of Front Street. She says that working out of a trailer does pose some challenges, but adds, “neither I nor my customers can imagine me being in anything else than my Airstream!” Her husband continues to work at Boeing during the week and they travel to see each other on weekends. Crafty Christine’s Siren Salvage offers fun and whimsical trinkets and garden stepping stones. Stop in and take home a memory!

MAKE IT
Shelly was always the creatively curious member of her seven-member, unicycle-riding family. In fourth grade she fell in love with poetry. She was assigned to write two haikus and ended up writing 400! During her senior year of high school, she took all art classes (clay sculpting, paper maché, batik, metalsmithing, painting, silkscreen and creative writing), having finished her other requirements in the previous years. Recently she won 10th place out of 3200 entries in a Hollywood poetry writing contest. Shelly’s batiks have been displayed at the Handforth Gallery in Tacoma. Before Imagine That!, Shelly owned and operated Creative Gardening, where she created art with trees, flowers, and quotations. Her motto has always been “if it’s got a hole in it, plant something!” Shelly spent the two years with
last her
grandmother. “Grams” made her promise to spend a couple of years in her house in Aberdeen. Shelly commutes everyday to Seabrook. “I still live there and enjoy the peacefulness and the scenery in Grays Harbor. The Harbor is a wonderful place for riding my scooter and going kayaking or camping.” But she loves coming to Seabrook, “this wonderful little ‘Idea’ town,” she said. “The people that come into the studio always inspire me with their thoughts, ideas, stories
and wonderful sense of humor. The kids are just awesome and I thoroughly enjoy each and every one of them. I love that all ages come in and guys that come in and create as well. This is no longer just for the ladies! I thoroughly enjoy helping people with ideas. In fact my favorite customers are the ones that walk in and say they don’t have a creative bone in their bodies. I show them a few techniques or give them some simple ideas, they go for it usually and the next day I take great pleasure in saying,
“Imagine That!” You did it, it is beautiful...you ARE creative. “I love what I do. People leave with something they are proud of, that they made by themselves and [they leave with] a big smile on their face. It just makes my day.” Shelly hopes to add a few additions this summer and fall, such as canvas painting and potted plants for sale. Check out the studio and let your creative juices flow at Imagine That!

COMMUNITY GARDEN
Dorothy Anderson Historic Cabin Dorothy Anderson’s 88-year-old, Ocean City cabin has been fully restored and now sits near the north end of Crescent Park in Seabrook. Seabrook is honored to be the location of its final resting place. The Grand Opening of the cabin took place during Seabrook’s Fourth of July Celebration. It was also the featured backdrop during the Syttende Mai Parade. The cabin was originally built by Dorothy Anderson, a Norwegian immigrant in Ocean City, just south of Seabrook. The cabin had suffered severe rot and general disrepair over several decades. Charged with care taking the cabin, the Museum of North Beach has moved it twice to keep it from being destroyed. It is now located on Meriweather Street at the north end of Crescent Park in Seabrook. “After eleven years of Museum ownership, this historic North Beach icon has finally been fully restored with a matching grant from the Seabrook Community Foundation and Moclips By The Sea Historical Society,” said Museum President, Lee Marriott. “In addition to the restored cabin, a new historic marker providing information about the cabin was recently installed. Also, several raised flower and vegetable beds, currently in full bloom, cover the entire landscape of the Dorothy Anderson Garden.” The cabin provides a community garden space for Seabrook homeowners to maintain a vegetable or flower bed. Inside the cabin are Dorothy’s personal items and several period artifacts from many donors, giving visitors the chance to step back in time. A new full-color brochure with numerous photos and history of the cabin is available at the Museum of the North Beach and the Dorothy Anderson Cabin. For more information on this historic landmark, call the Museum of the North Beach at 360-276-4441 or email kelly@moclips.org.

Trail work begins on Lollipop Mtn Bike Trail
The Washington Coast’s rich logging history has left many open logging roads behind for avid mountain bikers and explorers alike. On Seabrook’s property and its adjacent area, passionate bikers have carved out loops of all sizes that are heavily frequented each year. But it wasn’t until this past spring that Seabrook teamed up with the well-known Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance to create something special on the Washington Coast.
Starting this July, Seabrook’s network of mountain biking trails will increase dramatically. With the help of the crew at Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance, new trails and paths will be made available in some of the most scenic areas around Seabrook. The building process has already started. Mike Westra and Kevin Kelly, two very experienced mountain biking professionals, held a session at Seabrook in June sharing their knowledge of trail building to many local mountain biking enthusiasts. After a thorough classroom lecture (and some mighty delicious baked goods and sandwiches from Red Velvet and Front Street Market), the crew headed to the south end of Seabrook’s property – just across the highway above our neighbors the Sandpiper Resort – to begin digging and planning. Trail building is hard work. It is especially difficult in clear cut areas which are less than 15 years old.
A trail begins with removing duff – the decomposed topsoil, leaves
HOW-TO
and branches – to get to the mineral soil, which will compact well under bike tire usage. In a clear-cut area, the duff includes layers of roots, plants and deadfalls, which must be removed to create a sustainable bike path. After some p r a c t i c e utilizing pulaskis, Rogue hoes, shovels

and McLeod rakes, the team walked the 1.5 miles of a seabird shaped trail which had been “brushed” earlier by Seabrook’s groundskeepers crew (kudos to a fantastic job!). A discussion began about the best part of the trail to utilize for the mountain bike path. The birdwing section was identified as the best and because of its shape, is now referred to as
the “lollipop” loop.
While the new trail is well underway, future trails are being planned in regards to a comprehensive trail system. In addition to the lollipop loop, an outer loop with cross connects is also in the design. Further down the road, conversations with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) have started to develop trails on the DNR property adjacent

Seabrook is all about being at the beach. As the town grows, the desire to be near the oceanfront – especially at sunset – grows with every new day.
first broke ground on July 22, 2004 – more than a decade ago! It’s sure to be a popular spot for beach inspired weddings and sunset picnics. The esplanade, defined as a promenade along a large body of water, connects to one of the three existing beach accesses.
Now that the second oceanfront neighborhood Pacific Glen is nearing completion, so is its signature amenity – the Pacific Glen Esplanade.
This walk is also outfitted with a series of small grass lawn areas and six new benches for neighbors, visitors and guests to take in the ocean breeze and scenery. Ultimately, this path will connect to Main Street and Sunset Amphitheater on the town side of the Hidden Coast Scenic Byway.
Prominently situated atop the historic Highway 109 roadway, this pedestrian bluff walk is a great way to enjoy a stroll along the waterfront. Not only that, the pathway offers a commanding view of our first oceanfront neighborhood Northwest Glen, as well as the distant Pt. Grenville and scenic North Coast.
The Pacific Glen Esplanade should definitely make it on your Seabrook bucket list. It provides a fabulous photo op. And don’t forget to tag yourself, friends, and family members with some popular social media hashtags: #PacificGlen, #WACoast, and of course, #SeabrookWA.

Moving dirt and making way for blueberry maze, horseshoe-shaped park, pickleball court You may have noticed a bit of dust in the “back forty.” Just beyond the basketball courts, dog park, and play area, trees have been cleared for the construction of Seabrook’s much anticipated neighborhood, the Farm District! Situated just to the north of the Wind Gate Equestrian barn, the first phase of the Farm District will be 50 acres. Of the 50 acres, 35 will be open space , including forest and farm pasture. The remaining 15 acres will be composed of 40 single family homes which will front park spaces and common areas. Plans have been created for a horseshoe-shaped
