CRCC Legal Update

July 28, 2022 by Cascade River Community Club

A lawsuit was filed on July 5, 2022 by an owner in the community, Wayne Carter. The suit was filed in Skagit County Superior Court under cause number 22-22-00523-29.  Mr. Carter named as defendants in the lawsuit the Cascade River Community Club and its individual board directors.  Mr. Carter requests as relief an amount “in excess of $208,000” and other damages.  His claims include allegations of harassment, stalking and defamation, breach of board duties, and fraud.

Read the Original Lawsuit


The board notified its insurance carrier of this legal claim and arranged to tender the legal defense of the lawsuit to the insurance company.  The insurance company for CRCC, CNA, has retained the law firm of Lee Smart, P.S. to defend all defendants in the lawsuit—both the Club as an entity association, and the individual board directors.  This means, thankfully, that the legal costs, including attorney fees, to defend against the lawsuit claims will be paid by our insurance company and will not need to come out of Club accounts and funds.  The senior attorney on the Lee Smart defense team is Jeffrey Downer, who will be assisted on the case by Associate attorney Karen Griffith.  These attorneys anticipate filing a formal responsive pleading to the complaint soon.  Lee Smart is a very reputable, long established law firm with deep experience in insurance defense cases.  Mr. Downer is a senior lawyer with the firm and works out of Lee Smart’s Seattle office.  We are in good hands with our legal tea
 
We have been instructed by your attorneys to say very little about the specific allegations and content of Mr. Carter’s complaint.  In an active lawsuit, the Board Directors as parties are all witnesses and must be extremely careful about commenting on the matter and must also preserve the attorney-client privilege at all costs.  However, owners are welcome to review for themselves the complaint filed by Mr. Carter at the Skagit County Superior Court records and generally follow other pleadings—including our answer to the complaint—that will be filed with the Court because these documents are all part of the public record.  We will also be posting a copy of the complaint on the Club’s website for your review.
 
What we can say is that the defendants will be formally denying and defending against the claims alleged by Mr. Carter and disagree strongly with his depiction of facts and events in his complaint.  More than that we cannot say at this point in time.  We will be periodically updating the community on the status of the lawsuit as it progresses.

Welcome to our new website

February 1, 2021 by Cascade River Community Club

Thank you all for your patience during our transition to the new site!

After several months of planning, we are delighted to announce the launch of the new Cascade River Park website. Our new site provides for a more park-member focused experience showcasing photography from one of our members, Trevor Eiler Photography. The navigation has been updated, condensing all our information on one navigation menu and focusing the member content (where one must log in) within one area of the site.

We hope you like the fresh new look to Cascade River Park, especially the local photography and improved navigation. We’ll continue to keep you informed with regular blog posts sharing our project updates, park conditions and when key information is released. Check back on the site frequently as we will be continually adding more content, features, and updates.

We value your opinion

Please contact us to let us know what you think of the new website – all comments and feedback are welcome. Please also let us know if you cannot find something or would like to make any suggestions for new information or topics.

Many thanks for your ongoing support and we look forward to hearing from you.
