ZILLAHLAKES Gala Grand Opening this Weekend
Special incentives available for out-of town visitors, home purchasers and lot reservations

Zillah Prairies LLC and United Builders of Washington are pleased to celebrate the Grand Opening of the innovative Zillah Lakes community. It will take place this Saturday and Sunday, September 20 & 21st at Zillah Lakes (Yakima Valley Highway & Barbee Rd, between Zillah & Buena). The weekend will feature many incentives and activities to highlight the community’s location in the heart of Yakima’s burgeoning wine country.

Zillah Lakes is 650-lot planned community, nestled at the base of the premiere vineyard region of the Lower Yakima Valley. Over two dozen world-class wineries and tasting rooms are within a 20 minute drive. The innovative community plan incorporates a 16 acre lake, a world-class 9 hole golf course, and the safety, sense of community, and amenities of a village and town center. Most homesites open directly onto the lake or the golf course and the homes — built by United Builders, the oldest residential construction firm in Washington, — feature indoor/out patio living, mud rooms and pantries, as well as up-to-the-minute technology.

For the Grand Opening, homes are available at eye-popping introductory prices either on the lake or the projected golf course.
The project will be open from 11:30 AM to 6 PM both weekend days and will include:
• Barbecue sandwiches & picnic dining
• 5 Model homes to tour
• Golf Cart tours of the overall project
• Wine Tours of nearby wineries departing every two hours
• Complimentary tickets for a performance Saturday Night (9/20) at The Seasons Performance Hall (within a few minutes of Yakima hotels) by world-renowned jazz pianist, Jessica Williams.

Grand Opening speeches and ribbon cutting will take place at 1 PM Saturday including:
Curtis King, State Representative
Rand Elliot & Mike Leita, Yakima County Commissioners
Gary Clark, Mayor, Town of Zillah

Sheriff’s department to announce selection of Zillah Lakes for next station.
Zillah Lakes is pleased to announce that theYakima County Sheriff’s department has selected Zillah Lakes for their Lower Valley substation and are working to get funding and details in place to make the official announcement. The 3300 sq ft facility would be in the fountain roundabout area at the entry to The Zillah Lakes Community off Yakima Valley Highway. The building will be designed in the Zillah Lakes style and will be in use 24 hrs a day.

A better guarantee of community security could not be imagined! We are also working with several police and sheriff officers who are potential purchasers in the community. We welcome the Yakima County Sheriff’s Department to Zillah Lakes.

Entry Signage:
We hoped to have entry signage completed by the time of the Grand Opening; alas some details have delayed the completion. We will have partially finished those signs, however, and we’ll have renderings available. The entry monument will be one of the most distinctive in the valley, being a combination of sign and artistry. It will combine live vineyard plantings with signage in a unique way that will refer to our Zillah Lakes logo.

Golf Course Freebie!
Many know that the development of our golf course has been held up for nearly two years by a pending decision by the US Army Corps of Engineers regarding a stream that meanders through the property. We will have two Major announcements to make at our grand opening:

1) A final decision and permit by The Corps of Engineers, which should allow us to begin work on the golf course late this year.
2) Announcement of a partnership with the nearby Mt. Adams Golf Course that will allow ANY purchaser in Zillah Lakes greens fees for FREE until we are able to provide a playable golf course at Zillah Lakes (now anticipated for Spring of 2010.)
Now that’s a great mulligan, isn’t it?
