No Illegal Fireworks This Year In Holiday Hideaway. 

Skagit County Sheriff Will Be On Patrol.

In the past several years the Holiday Hideaway area, and especially Cooks Cove, have experienced increasing numbers of people, both residents of HH and others from off and on the island, shooting off illegal fireworks. Because of the noise, mess, garbage, fire hazard and pet concerns, the seven Board of Directors have voted to pay the expenses of having a Skagit County Sheriff in the Holiday Hideaway during the evening of the 4th of July up until about 1 AM.  This decision is the result of much neighborhood input and based on past years experiences. Anyone shooting off illegal fireworks will be subject to arrest.  The Holiday Hideaway Board wants to give plenty of notice to people to not bring illegal fireworks to Guemes Island expecting to be able to use them here.

Board of Directors,
Holiday Hideaway,  Guemes Island

Is this officer policing the "Island of Guemes" or the private properties of those who have hired him on Holiday Hideaway? Is he a privately contracted individual or is the county providing this service to all?

The Holiday Homeowners Association contracted privately with the Skagit County Sheriffs Department to provide an officer to patrol both the private property owned by Holiday HIdeaway, ie. Cooks Cove and others, and the public roads of Holiday Hideaway. He/she will not be patroling the rest of the island. The Board had made inquiries of interest in participating in this to other organizations on the island.

Funny no one asked me and I live on the cove. Hope you all are not doing any thing that I don't care for.I am capable of paying for a cop also. For all who drive by my house over the limit and the list goes on and on. That's what my neighborhood has come to over the last few years. Its ok for one but not the other. Look out I am a bit much to deal with.

To all the people that have called me on the island outside of my neighborhood and any one else that feels the need to call me please understand that this was a few people that made this choice most people in my neighborhood new nothing about this if you would like to know who payed for the officer I guess they used my neiborhoods money with out asking all that live here. check with the board. I am tuely sorry for my neighborhoods.
