Klahanie Community Center
Project Summary
The Klahanie Board of Directors is excited to share plans for a project that will incorporate a new office, community center, and potential replacement and expansion of the Mountainview Pool facility.
Klahanie was developed in 1985 as the premier residential community on the plateau, designed with long-term amenities to enhance resident enjoyment and contribute to long-term property values. These amenities include open spaces, playgrounds, sports courts, trails, and pools. Over the past nearly 40 years, these amenities have distinguished Klahanie as a unique community where residents have places to meet their neighbors, enjoy outdoor activities, and build relationships.
A key amenity that needs immediate attention is the main office building. It was designed and intended to be a temporary structure used as a sales office for Klahanie, which was moved in the late 1980s to its current location by Yellow Lake. Unfortunately, we cannot rebuild or expand at the current location as it is now classified as a wetland, and the NGPA area is close to a creek that feeds Yellow Lake. Consequently, after evaluating all of the common areas throughout our community, the Mountainview area was identified as offering the ideal site conditions.
To address these needs, the Board of Directors and the Building & Special Projects Committee have been working to develop a plan for a new facility that will house new HOA offices, a community meeting space, and updated pool amenities. This facility will be located on the Mountainview Pool property and funded through Klahanie’s reserve and capital accounts, quarterly dues, and potential lending options—no special assessment will be required to complete this project.
This page will be updated regularly to keep residents informed about this project’s progress. We welcome your input and encourage you to direct comments and questions to communitycenter@klahanie.com or click the link on this page.
Why?
-
The office building is a manufactured building that was only meant to be a temporary sales office
-
It was moved by the developer to its current location in the late 1980s after being located at the entrance to division one off of Issaquah Pine Lake Road
-
Due to zoning issues, we cannot build or expand at the current location. The building is next to a creek considered a protected wetland and NGPA land
-
In addition to the replacement office building, the community has conveyed a strong interest in expanding the size of the pool and providing a community gathering space
