Following incorporation the major interest of the Association involved land use planning. At that time Thurston County was engaged in establishing land use planning throughout the North County. The BHA along with other organizations in the area, worked with the County to establish land uses, zoning, etc. in our area.
As the land use planning was completed, The BHA started looking inward to the smaller area around the Marina and north up to the end of the Boston Harbor Road. The rebuild of the boat launch ramp, some traffic discussions and the potential loss of the Boston Harbor School were all activities during the late 70's.
Starting in the early 80's, raw sewage in our ditches became the primary topic of discussion, and occupied the community and the BHA until the completion of the sewer system and a new water system in late 1989. Water and sewer ULID's were established by Thurston County to finance and manage the new system.
Following the completion of land use planning and the sewer and water systems, there seemed to be no issue to address outside of Boston Harbor proper. The board therefore, changed its representation to include only residences from within and adjacent to the ULID boundary.
During the 90's, activities centered on a number of issues such as traffic control, walking paths, Block Watch, community picnics, garage sales and the public boat launch ramp.
Currently the BHA sponsors various community activities such as Music on the Dock held the last Sunday of June, July and August at the Marina; a Fourth of July fireworks display executed by local licensed talent and displayed over the harbor for the enjoyment of the entire neighborhood; a September community-wide Seafood BBQ and Potluck held at the Marina, where we celebrate the bounty of the sea and our community which has grown beside it and a semi-annual trash removal project along Boston Harbor Road.
