A Tsunami of Incompetence in Ocean Shores - News from We the Governed

News from We the Governed: A small town like Ocean Shores in Washington State has a big problem if they can't resolve basic problems with local governance like these. One of these problems would be curious, but all of them indicate a pattern of behavior and not an aberration. Situations like this are solvable, but it is better to fix it sooner rather than later. Do you know what is happening in your town or city?
Note: The fraud case referenced in this video is still in active litigation, and has yet to be finalized (See Court Case #20-1-00333-14 "State of Washington v. Piper Marie Leslie). Please note, in the original draft of this article and the video, it erroneously stated this case had been resolved, but that was wrong. It is still ongoing.

I purchased a home in Ocean Shores recently and have been researching the community and government. There's all sorts of questionable shenanigans going on. E.g. despite the South end eroding, the City of Ocean Shores has been selling sand! The peninsula is literally eroding away, and the City Council is selling off the very thing the city needs to literally survive.

As a former resident of Ocean shores I can tell you that that building that you covered in this story was almost complete when they decided to add on the office space. Down on the south end the city built a garage and parked a couple of older fire trucks in it and called it a fire station just to lower the city's insurance rates, however its not a manned fire station. I think you need to investigate the airport as well the corruption of that city and having to deal with Inslee as a state leader was a big factor in why I moved out of state last year aft 50+ years

I'm shocked the golf course has stayed open. I have never heard of anyone going out there to golf. People go to walk on the beach, fly kites, eat fish and chips and ice cream and go to little boutiques. Sounds like horrible corruption. When I worked in a local small town I saw a lot of corruption happening but people didn't even go to the city council meetings because no one felt they could have any impact on the corruption so they just didn't bother. Its a much bigger town than ocean shores.

It's very sad- I spent a good deal of time in Ocean Shores growing up (my uncle used to own a lot down by the Jetty- long before even the first condos were built), my wife and I had our honeymoon at the Shilo Inn, and I had my last combined family vacation there (myself, my wife & daughter, my parents and my older brother) before I moved my family out-of-state. That so many instances of mismanagement, fraud, or corruption could happen in one small coastal city- speaks volumes about how broken our systems of governance have become.

That is not entirely uncommon. For example, in Renton, I remember that the water park/pool the city built had two rates - one for residents and one for non-residents. The theory being that the resident's tax dollars built it, and they should have a reduced rate accordingly. However, libraries don't have too many "costs" associated with them for "using" them, so I'm not sure exactly what you mean - renting a room? Or checking out books?

@@kimberlyphifer2391 This was Easter weekend and a big guy with a black mask in the store. I know my mom has been in there before this time without a problem, but when we went in with my kids he said we can't be in there without a mask during business hours (not sure what that meant). Hope you are correct though about a petition. These days I feel like a Jew in 1940s in Europe, some places I am welcome not welcome some places....a 2nd hand citizen without a mask. I am polite and leave, metiphically shaking the dust from my feet. I have children with me all the time...to set an example, the next Americans. Not sure if the shark store guy knows but other shops in town don't have that rule.

Um, we're in a global pandemic. Everyone needs to wear a mask. Durp.

I call that disgusting little town. Open Soars. Went there as a kid, family owned property and businesses there, likely will never go back. Everything is 1962 with zero maintenance.

People need to pay attention to what is going on in their communities. This is why I have no sympathy for the Ocean Shores residents. They were "asleep at the wheel" so they got the government they deserve.

Sometimes people just want to drive their car, not work on the engine. Make no mistake though, there are many of us who are working to try to fix things in O.S. But we're up against things like the current mayor forbidding city employees to speak to a particular council member, jumping up in the middle of a resident's public comment and yanking the mic cable out, a handful of council members announcing that "public comment" at council meetings should be abolished, and one particular council member admitting in a public document that he voted to greenlight a rather expensive project "along political lines" and not because it was a good idea. And then there are some state and county agencies who could step in but for some reason always choose to turn their back when queried. There is no oversight here -- the mayor has worked hard to establish herself as her own "oversight" and she's running the totalitarian playbook.

There is probably more citizen involvement when we had live city council meetings than I'll bet any other city our size.

Most of the time, it appears that people just are not aware. I will also point out, the current mayor has no mandate anyway (3 vote margin in an election is very tight, so I suspect people who live there realize there are problems).

That is a good point. There appears to be much that I've missed which would make this story even more significant. Probably this means I need to do a follow-up...
