New Opportunities and Endeavors
by Diana Smeland, President, Port Ludlow Associates
I feel very fortunate to work with
a team of incredible people here at
the Port Ludlow Associates (PLA)
office and all around the Resort
at Port Ludlow. Each day they
inspire me with their commitment
to explore innovative ideas, push
themselves to learn different ways
to approach daily tasks, and to find
ways to improve themselves and
our company.
One particular endeavor I am excited to share with you
is that, after many hours of coursework, Brent Sasse,
our Construction Manager at Westharbor Homes, has
recently earned his designation as a Certified Aging-in-
Place Specialist.
Certified Aging-in-Place Specialists:
• Have been trained to meet the housing needs of the 50+
population
• Can identify and/or make home modifications to help
people live independently in their homes at later ages
• Can find solutions to common household obstacles
which can make homes unsafe or uncomfortable
With this expertise, Westharbor Homes is now able to
better assist Port Ludlow residents in updating their
homes with a lifelong outlook, while also providing the
aesthetic modifications that homes often need to maintain
their value over time. If you have ever considered making
a few updates to your home or are looking at the possibility
of a full remodel, Brent and his team at Westharbor
Homes are ready to assist you.
There is so much going on here in Port Ludlow each
day that makes this community vibrant, and our team is
working daily to share the many happenings here with
the rest of the world. One way we are working to get the
word out is the new events calendar on the new Resort
website. Just visit www.PortLudlowResort.com, go to
“Discover” and choose “Calendar”. Once there, you will
be able to see all of our events from golf tournaments
and special dinner events at Niblicks Café to Marina
Rendezvous, winemaker dinners, holiday meals, and
happy hour times at The Fireside Restaurant. (Don’t
forget, Happy Hour at The Fireside is every day from
4:00 - 6:00 p.m. and is a great way to explore a new drink
or one of the half-price small plates.)
With one simple location for all the Resort’s events and
activities, I hope you like the new calendar as much as I do.
With our company-wide mindset of finding new ways to
approach our business, we have begun to look for fresh
ways to accelerate our progress towards the development
of the remaining neighborhoods outlined within the
Master Plan Resort Development Agreement. In these
explorations, one intriguing opportunity has presented
itself, and today we are engaged in a strategic analysis
to determine whether the potential sale of Olympic
Water and Sewer is a viable option for both Port Ludlow
Associates and for this community. As we learn more,
we will update the community, when possible, at the Port
Ludlow Village Council meetings and through future
Voice articles.
I would love to hear from you with questions that can
be answered in this column. All of us with Port Ludlow
Associates continue to look forward to meeting with
groups and residents to share ideas or deal with any
expressed concerns about Port Ludlow’s future. If you
have questions, my direct line is 360-437-8342 or e-mail
at dsmeland@portludlowassociates.com.
