Notes from the Eatonville Town Council Meeting – March 23rd
Staff Report
The Eatonville Town Council finalized a series of zoning and land-use changes, awarded a major road project contract, and approved an amendment to a state cleanup grant during its March 23 meeting.
COUNCIL ADOPTS ZONING AND LAND-USE UPDATES
Councilmembers approved a coordinated set of ordinances affecting multiple parcels along the Eatonville Highway corridor, completing a process that began earlier this month with first readings and public review.
The package included Ordinance 2026-3, which rezones a parcel at 349 Madison Ave. S from Mixed Use to General Commercial.
A related measure, Ordinance 2026-4, updates the town’s comprehensive plan to reflect that change, amending the future land-use map from Mixed Use to General Commercial for the same property.
The council also approved Ordinance 2026-5, which rezones two nearby parcels from Mixed Use to Single-Family Low Density.
Additional changes were made through Ordinance 2026-6, which removes the Public Use Open Space overlay from portions of the zoning map.
Finally, Ordinance 2026-7 updates the comprehensive plan by changing the future land-use designation for one of the parcels from Mixed Use to Public Use.
Town officials said the changes are intended to bring zoning designations, the comprehensive plan and municipal code into closer alignment following Planning Commission review and a public hearing held in February.
Additional detailes on the zoning changes area available in the March 11 issue of The Dispatch or visit the Town of Eatonville website for full documents.
HOUSING CODE UPDATES ADOPTED
The council also approved Ordinance 2026-8, which updates the Eatonville Municipal Code to reflect state requirements related to housing types.
The ordinance adds definitions for emergency housing, emergency shelters, transitional housing and permanent supportive housing. State law requires cities to allow these types of housing in certain zones where residential or similar uses are already permitted.
HIGHWAY OVERLAY CONTRACT AWARDED
Councilmembers approved Resolution 2026-J, awarding the Eatonville Highway West overlay project to ICON Materials.
The project will cover a section of Eatonville Highway West from Emerald Ridge Drive to Center Street West. According to the resolution, the town received a Transportation Improvement Board grant of $377,292 to support the work.
ICON Materials submitted the lowest responsible bid at $305,500, which was verified by the town’s engineering consultant, KPG Psomas.
The mayor is authorized to execute the contract on behalf of the town.
CLEANUP GRANT AMENDMENT APPROVED
The council also approved Resolution 2026-K, authorizing an amendment to a grant agreement with the Washington State Department of Ecology tied to cleanup of the town’s former landfill site.
The amendment increases the total grant funding to $7,373,503.16, up from approximately $6.72 million, and adjusts how funds are allocated among project tasks.
The funding supports ongoing environmental investigation, planning and cleanup efforts related to the former municipal landfill, which operated between 1950 and 1980.
The amendment also updates project descriptions, deliverables and budget allocations as the cleanup work continues.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor,
I am writing to encourage members of our community to consider volunteering at the Eatonville Family Agency. This organization plays a vital role in supporting families in need by providing essential resources, guidance, and a sense of stability during difficult times.
Many families in our area face challenges that are not always visible, and the Eatonville Family Agency works tirelessly to ensure that no one has to navigate those hardships alone. However, they rely heavily on the support of volunteers to continue their important work.
Volunteering is a powerful way to make a direct impact. Whether it’s helping organize donations, assisting with events, or simply offering your time and kindness, every contribution matters. Even a few hours can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
I urge readers to consider getting involved. By volunteering, you are not only helping families in need but also strengthening the sense of community that makes Eatonville such a special place.
Sincerely, Hayden Putnam 9th Grader, Eatonville High School
Eatonville Family Agency Offers Support, Connection and Ways to Give Back
For more than 40 years, Eatonville Family Agency, or EFA, has served local individuals, families and seniors with programs aimed at reducing the impact of poverty and connecting neighbors with practical support. Its mission centers on helping the community through food assistance, clothing, youth and senior activities, holiday support, and referrals to additional resources.
Among its ongoing offerings are free groceries for the community, available every Friday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. This service is open to everyone and does not require families to be food bank clients.
EFA also provides regular opportunities for young people to connect. Pizza Wednesday Club meets once a month and gives students a place to gather, build relationships and take part in a positive community setting. On the first Saturday of each month, EFA also hosts Youth Game Night for middle and high school students from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The April 4 event will also include an Easter egg hunt. Community Dinner is typically held on the last Friday of each month from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., offering another way for neighbors to come together in a welcoming setting.
May is Hunger Awareness Month in Eatonville, and EFA’s Facebook page is the place to watch for details about its annual Aid the Agency campaign. Community members can also register now for the Stomp Out Hunger Charity 5K Walk/Run on May 9 at Smallwood Park, a fundraiser benefiting EFA. On May 16, EFA will also host its Spring Cleanup Dumpster event at Smallwood Park from 8 a.m. to noon, or until the dumpsters are full.
In addition to these programs and events, Eatonville Family Agency continues to provide broader support for families throughout the community. For neighbors looking for help, a place to connect, or a way to get involved, EFA remains an important part of Eatonville.

NO-HITTER, FROM 1
The left-hander tossed five hitless innings, striking out seven and working around four walks to secure the no-hitter.
Backed by another error-free defensive effort, Eatonville completed its second straight shutout in dominant fashion.
“Ryder pitched a great game and I was thrilled to see him go out and earn that no-hitter,” Fillbach said. “I think the best part was we set a goal to have less than five free bases and I really pushed him to meet that goal. He went out there determined not to give up free bases and the few times Foss got their bat on the ball, our defense backed Ryder up with no errors.”
The momentum carried into Friday’s matchup against Lakes, where the Cruisers showed they could win in a different way.
After falling behind early and battling through multiple ties, Eatonville broke the game open late for an 11-4 victory.
Lakes scored in the first inning, but Eatonville
answered when Ruvalcaba grounded out to tie the game. The Cruisers briefly fell behind again before rallying in the third inning.
Colton Herbrand delivered a two-run double to give Eatonville the lead, and Colston Bruun followed with an RBI single to make it 4-2.
Lakes battled back to tie the game at 4 in the fourth, but Eatonville responded immediately. Colton Herbrand came through again with a two-run single to break the tie, and an error extended the lead to 7-4.
Colton Herbrand was not finished.
He drove in four runs on the day, adding a basesloaded walk in the fifth inning to help put the game out of reach. He finished with a double, a single, and a key walk, leading a lineup that showed patience with eight total walks.
On the mound, Colton Herbrand also picked up the win, striking out seven over three innings. LJ Osborn provided a steady relief appearance with a scoreless inning, helping secure the victory.
Eatonville remained
SPECIAL OLYMPICS, FROM 1
Special recognition went to EHS teen volunteers Cody Jumper and Emory Simpson, whose support during the basketball season helped ensure that the athletes had a positive and successful experience.
The Eatonville Special Olympics program provides students of all ages the opportunity to participate in athletic competitions while building confidence,
SPORTS SHORTS, FROM 1
The field events saw Ian Mitchell lead a sweep of the shot put alongside Mason Kinley and Dale Swaner, while Adam Ames took the discus title ahead of the same duo. Distance runner Titus Lowe added second-place finishes in both the 1600 and 3200 meters, as Oscar Lopez-Diaz and Gabriel Kolsrud secured second-place spots in the 400 and 800 meters, respectively. The girls’ track team was powered by Hannah Bieker, who swept the 1600 and 3200 meters, with Bridget Stumph finishing second in both events. Lily Lightfoot stood out with wins in the 100 hurdles and triple jump, and Mckenzie Ball

claimed the long jump title. Madison McChesney-Brown highlighted the throws with a win in the javelin and a second-place finish in the discus, helping the Cruisers cap the meet with wins in the 4x200 and 4x400 relays.
The Lady Cruiser softball team also displayed impressive firepower, splitting two games while totaling 30 hits over the week. On Thursday, the team nearly completed a massive comeback in a 9-8 loss to Orting. After falling behind by four runs in the fourth inning, Eatonville rallied behind three-hit performances from Lilah Chapman and Kailyn Kenney and two RBIs each from Josie Lavergne,
aggressive on the base paths, swiping 10 bases in the game. C. Herbrand, Smith, and Coleson Simpson each recorded multiple steals as the Cruisers continued to apply pressure.
“Our bats have really warmed up the last three games,” Fillbach said. “After North Mason, we had a talk about how we have to be aggressive and swing the bat and the boys took that to heart. We have been tearing it up at the plate and I’m excited to see how the work they’ve put in has paid off. That mindset shift was huge and I hope we continue it throughout the season.”
Through three games, Eatonville has showcased a balanced formula. Dominant pitching, timely hitting, aggressive base running, and clean defense have fueled a strong start and a three-game win streak.
The Cruisers will look to keep that momentum going when they travel to Clover Park on Tuesday and will follow that game by hosting Clover Park on Wednesday to finish out the week.
friendships, and a sense of accomplishment. For many of the athletes, the competitions represent more than medals; they are moments of pride, personal growth, and community support.
With the basketball season wrapped up, the Eatonville Special Olympics program looks ahead to future competitions and continued participation from both elementary and high school athletes.
Amy Tozier, and Brooklynn Sullivan. Lavergne also struck out seven in a complete-game effort in the circle. The team rebounded on Friday with a crushing 16-1 victory over Clover Park fueled by an eight-run explosion in the first inning. Morgan Laird dominated the game by striking out 10 over five innings while hitting an insidethe-park home run as part of a threeRBI performance. Tozier also drove in three runs, as the team remained error-free and recorded seven stolen bases. Looking ahead, the softball team faces a three-game slate next week with trips to Tenino on Tuesday and Washington on Wednesday, before returning home Friday to host Foss. All three games are scheduled for 4 pm starts. Meanwhile, the girls’ tennis team navigated a revamped lineup during a busy three-match week, finishing with a 1-2 record while gaining experience against larger school competition. The Cruisers suffered narrow 3-2 losses on Monday and Thursday , though Charlotte Stumph earned a straight-set singles win on Monday and the No. 1 doubles team of Jessie Zumwalt and Rilynne Johnson remained undefeated throughout the week. A Thursday highlight included a grueling three-set victory by Claire Bertram and Emma Abston that lasted more than two hours. Eatonville finished the week on a high note with a 3-2 victory on Friday. In that final match, all three doubles teams secured wins, including another comeback from Zumwalt and Johnson , a straight-set victory from Isabel Volk and Abston at No. 2 doubles , and a match-sealing performance by Bertram and Toryn Amaral at the No. 3 spot.

Tatman as Foreclosure Commissioner, recorded on 9/21/2021 as instrument number 202109210266, book XX, page XX notice is hereby given that on 5/1/2026 at 10:00 AM local time, all real and personal property at or used in connection with the following described property will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder: Legal Description: UNIT 144, BUILDING 5, SANS SOUCI TOWNHOUSE CONDOMINIUMS, A CONDOMINIUM, ACCORDING TO THE CONDOMINIUM DECLARATION RECORDED UNDER RECORDING NUMBER 8507190309, AND AMENDMENTS THERETO, IF ANY, AND IN VOLUME 1 OF CONDOMINIUMS, PAGE(S) 83 AND 84, INCLUSIVE, IN PIERCE COUNTY, WASHINGTON Commonly known as: 5959 S 12th St. #144, Tacoma, WA 98465 The sale will be held at the Second Floor Entry Plaza Outside Pierce County Courthouse, 930 Tacoma Ave South, Tacoma, WA. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid an estimate of $335,555.80. There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling $33,555.58 [10% of the Secretary’s bid] in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. Each oral bid need not be accompanied by a deposit. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $33,555.58 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the high bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveyancing fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD Field Office representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD field office Representative, offer the Property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant the Act. Therefore, the Fore-
closure commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The amount that must be paid if the Mortgage is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is $335,555.80, as of 4/30/2026, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the mortgage had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner’s attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out-ofpocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner for recording documents, a commission for the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement.
Tender of payment by certified or cashier’s check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS:
