About Us
Joshua Bowens
Hey there! I’m Joshua. Significant dues increases and the passage of WUCIOA (RCW 64.90) launched me into community politics. I actively participated in a grassroots movement leading to the enactment of the SVCA bylaw limiting dues increases. Subsequently, I served on the Board. During my tenure, we addressed issues like neglected maintenance and steered Sudden Valley towards a more equitable and sustainable future. Concluding my service, progress persisted. I am committed to ensuring that Sudden Valley continues its forward momentum and would love the opportunity to serve again, helping to provide leadership that prioritizes all community members and our natural environment.

I have lived in Sudden Valley for 25 years. My wife and I have raised two children in this beautiful community. My objective as a board member will be fiscal responsibility. Throughout my years in Sudden Valley, I have felt constant pressure to increase dues for things that most in the community care very little about. Most residents of Sudden Valley feel they are paying too much and wonder what they get for their $140 every month. My experience in production management will assist me with meeting deadlines, working closely with people and balancing budgets.

I was raised in Kailua on the island of Oahu. I lived in Hawaii until I graduated from high school, then moved to Arizona to attend ASU. I have been a real estate agent for 21 years and was an elementary school teacher prior to that. After many years of pining, researching, and visiting, I moved to Sudden Valley in March of 2018. SInce then I have gotten married and moved into Bellingham, but maintain ownership of my home in Sudden Valley. I have two adult children, a German Shepherd named Wally, and a black cat named Lani.
