I completed the simple process to become a leaseholder at the Escapee Coop park in Chimacum.
(For those familiar with Chimacum, that road that goes off into the trees is the road to the garbage/utility area)
When lots become available they are first offered to existing leaseholders, then to the person on the waiting list (I’ve been on the waiting list for 4 years). There are 175 lots, some of which have been “improved” with landscaping, tricked-out sheds, fancy concrete work, etc which I didn’t want to pay for. And, there is only a smallish area that gets fair Verizon coverage so I can use the internet. What I wanted was a plain lot in “the ghetto”, near the weekly parking area and where lots are rented out to travelers.
This one was perfect. All I had to pay for above the base price was the electrification of the shed and a workbench in it. I have no intention of “improving” it any further.
Now I have to pay 1/175 of the operating costs of the park, which is pretty close to what I have been paying to stay here for the summer. But, I get a storage space, which I will fill with a boat on a trailer.
For those passing through this summer, I’m in lot 218.
