The community of Raft Island has raised hundreds of families over the years. A recent
poll shows that the average home ownership is 18+ years. That says a lot about our
neighborhoods.
As a private island, WE keep our neighborhoods safe and our parks clean. If you live
here and can help, we need you! A current TO DO's & NEEDS LIST will be posted here.
If you can contribute or have items to add, please contact the Island Manager.
The South Beach is the focus of an annual 4th of July Fireworks Display and the
summer draws boaters, picnics, parties and beach-combing every year. In order to make
our island even more enjoyable, there are a number of opportunities available to
residents. All it takes is you.

If you are an old-timer on the Island or just looking for an opportunity to meet your
neighbors, please consider becoming a volunteer. If you’d like to initiate a new Holiday
Event, Island-Wide Swap Meet, Clean-Up Day, or any other community event, please
call the Island Manager at 265-1818 for more information or email a Trustee or Committee Chair.
In the meantime, we could use volunteers for:
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
This group will be facilitated by Pierce County Emergency Management Services. In the
event of a natural disaster (fire, earthquake, landslide, etc.), “block leaders” will have
access to contact information and critical details regarding unattended pets, our elderly,
on-island generators and equipment, a list of block captains, notification standards
and emergency protocols that could be life-saving in case of an emergency.
Please contact the Island Manager at 265-1818 for more information.

Below, the VOLUNTEER BRIDGE COMMITTEE meets with USDA representative, Bruce
Whittle, to inspect the bridge in an effort to secure a bridge reconstruction loan. The
group reports to the Board and is always looking for volunteers to help with minor repairs
and the management of annual inspections and maintenance. Go to the BRIDGE page
for more information.
