Welcome to the Norwood Village website.
This site is an archive of information and documents about the village including such things as village by-laws and covenants, maps, and minutes and reports associated with the various meetings held by the village and its board of trustees. It also contains announcements and other information about current village activities.
We trust that you will find this information informative and useful.

Please Don't Feed Wild Animals
As you probably know, we share Norwood Village with a variety of wild animals including raccoons, squirrels, coyotes, and most likely a number of others. In most cases, we coexist with very little interaction, but occasionally we encounter a problem animal that is very aggressive, that is doing damage to our property, or that is preying on pets.
Studies show that many problems with problem animals stem from someone feeding them, either directly or by leaving food items like pet food or garbage where animals can get them.
These animals are often very cute and can be quite appealing. It is very tempting to feed them. Please—you are not doing them any favors if you feed them. They become dependent upon handouts and lose their fear of humans. .
One result is that it might become necessary to have them destroyed or forcibly relocated. So please resist the temptation to feed them. Left to their own devices, these animals are remarkably self-sufficient and are much less likely to have bad interactions with humans.
Further information about living with wildlife is available from the Washington Dept of Fish and Wildlife for raccoons, squirrels, and coyotes including information about state laws concerning dealing with them. They also have information about trapping problem wild animals and hiring wildlife damage control firms should that become necessary.
The village has virtually completed updating the mailbox shelters located throughout the village.
If you did not choose to purchase a locking mailbox through the village, but now wish to do so, we recommend the black Oasis Jr. Locking Mailbox available locally from Home Depot and from a variety of mailorder sources (google oasis jr. locking mailbox). This box will fit in the space available on the new mailbox shelters and will match those purchased by a number of other village residents.
Complementary address number labels are available from the board while supplies last.
