Stroll Innis Arden

This season reminds us how fortunate we are to be surrounded by such wonderful neighbors! ❤️

From friendly conversations to thoughtful acts of kindness, it’s the little moments that make our community feel like home. 🏡

Take a moment to celebrate a neighbor who has made a difference in your day! ✨

Creeks, owls, towering trees, and even a 250-year-old bigleaf maple. 🦉

There is plenty waiting to be discovered along Innis Arden’s trails. 🌳

The Discovery Loop Trail begins at the Innis Arden Clubhouse and invites neighbors to explore local waterways while building observation and wayfinding skills. 🌿

Remember to travel together, stay on paths, leave no trace, respect wildlife, and give fellow explorers space. 🥾

Sometimes the best way to rediscover your neighborhood is simply to walk through it. 🫶

Community is more than where we live. It is the friendships we build, the stories we share, and the local businesses we trust. 🏡

Each month, Stroll brings those connections to life by celebrating the people, events, and experiences that make every neighborhood feel like home. 💫

Because finding your village starts right where you live. ❤️

Double the spots, double the fun! 🐾

Meet Poppy and Pepper, Innis Arden’s iconic Dalmatian beach duo. 🤍

These best friends love hiking to Richmond Beach, splashing in the water, chasing sticks and balls, competing over their tug rope, and eventually settling down for some well-earned sunshine and naps. 🐶

Their personalities may be unique, but their favorite adventures are better together. 🫶

Keep an eye out for these matching spots around the neighborhood and beach! 🤩

What happens when math becomes about more than finding the right answer? 🧮

In Emily’s Corner, Emily Sharrpy shares her experience at the University of Washington Math Olympiad, where students put their problem-solving, communication, and argumentation skills to work. ✨

Participants solve problems, explain their reasoning directly to judges, connect with other students, and hear professors walk through the solutions. 💡

Even better, participation is free for eligible students through 10th grade. 👏

A beautiful community deserves beautiful finishing touches. 💐

Members of the Innis Arden Garden Club gathered to create colorful floral arrangements for the community’s annual Salmon BBQ. 🌸

Their buckets and tables filled with brilliant hydrangeas and other fresh blooms brought an extra dose of beauty to this beloved neighborhood tradition. 💗

It is thoughtful contributions like these that make community events feel truly special. 🌿

Thank you to the Garden Club members for sharing their time, creativity, and flowers with Innis Arden! 🫶

A little taste of summer is still on the menu! 🍤

This month’s What’s Cookin’ features Shrimp & Corn Fritters from Tammy Circeo, a delicious way to make the most of fresh summer corn. 🌽

Packed with shrimp, corn, scallions, jalapeño, and cheddar cheese, these savory fritters pair perfectly with a bright lemon sour cream sauce. 😋

Serve them as an appetizer or turn them into a light lunch with baby greens. 🍽️

Check out this month’s issue of Stroll Innis Arden for the full recipe and get cookin’! 📖

Adventure might be closer to home than you think. 🏡

Innis Arden’s neighborhood trails offer everything from short nature escapes to an approximately 3.5-mile journey toward Richmond Beach. 🥾
