We are the CHAMPIONS!!! The Tarragon kickball team wrapped up another successful season with a big win—taking home first place for the first time! What started as a fun way to get outside and connect has now become a favorite tradition for the Tarragon team. It’s been a great way to build camaraderie, share some laughs, be a “little” competitive, and represent Tarragon in the community. Congratulations, TEAM TARRAGON, on a well-earned championship season!

Exciting news from Tarragon’s Uplands community—our two new parks, “Sky’s the Limit” and “Adventure Alley”, are officially opening! To celebrate, we’re hosting a resident-only grand opening event this weekend just for our Uplands neighbors. We’re so excited to see these vibrant new spaces come to life for our residents—let the fun begin!

Tarragon is excited to welcome three new summer interns to the team! Dylan Greer is studying Real Estate with a minor in Business Administration at the University of Washington and is set to graduate in 2026. Jack Johnson recently graduated from UW with a degree in Real Estate and minors in Data Science and Chemistry. Lucas Moore is a student at Gonzaga University, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Management with a concentration in Construction Management.

Dylan and Jack, our development interns, will rotate through Tarragon teams across all asset classes to gain a well-rounded understanding of the development process. Lucas, our construction intern, will focus specifically on construction, spending most of his time on-site to learn the day-to-day aspects of construction management.

We’re thrilled to have them on board and can’t wait to see the energy, curiosity, and fresh perspectives they’ll bring to the team over the next ten weeks!

The Tarragon team took part in our 4th annual Habitat for Humanity Build Day last week! It’s an incredibly meaningful way for us to give back to the community while also reinforcing our commitment to teamwork and our core value of stewardship.

We’ve worked in the same community for the past three years, and it’s been very rewarding to see the progress they’ve made over this time, especially knowing that families are now living in homes we helped construct. We’re grateful for our ongoing partnership with Habitat for Humanity and the opportunity to support their important work.

The Tarragon team delivered lunch to thank the incredible staff of the Orting School District—including teachers, district staff, and bus drivers—for all their hard work this school year. Uplands—our new master-planned community in South Hill—is part of this district, and we’re so grateful for the dedication these individuals bring to their schools and students every day. Thank you for all you do!

With mixed emotions, Tarragon announces the well-earned retirement of Dave Henline, our Senior Director of Construction and true jack of all trades. Since joining the organization in 2006, Dave has been a cornerstone of our construction team, bringing decades of experience, problem-solving skills, and a commitment to quality in everything he does.

Over the years, Dave’s leadership has helped shape some of our most notable projects, including Glacier Run Apartments, The Main, and Tilden Apartments, among others. Whether managing complex builds or mentoring the next generation of construction leaders, Dave has left a lasting mark on the Tarragon team and the projects we’ve built.

Congratulations, Dave, on an incredible career. We wish you all the best as you begin this next chapter—may it be filled with relaxation, ski trips, and well-deserved “beverages” with family and friends!

Please join us in congratulating Dave Carter on 10 incredible years at Tarragon!

Since day one, Dave has been a steady, trusted leader in our Construction group—bringing expertise, integrity, and a commitment to quality to everything he does. From some of Tarragon’s most complex projects to the culture he helps foster, Dave leads by example: thoughtful, reliable, and always collaborative.

Congrats, Dave – we’re so grateful for all you’ve brought to Tarragon over the past decade!

Tarragon’s commitment to community in the Bonney Lake area has been expressed in various forms of sponsorships of local sports organizations, including the Bonney Lake Little League. Tarragon is proud to be a premier sponsor of the Bonney Lake Little League for the second year in a row. We recently went out to support the league for their picture day, and it was great to see all the teams decked out in their Tarragon jerseys!

Please join us in congratulating Mandy Bender on 10 incredible years at Tarragon!

As Director of Contracts, Mandy has a hand in nearly everything we do—bringing clarity, consistency, and care to every project. She’s a trusted advisor, a steady leader, and someone we all look to for guidance and support.

Congrats, Mandy – we’re so lucky to have you on our team!

Happy Administrative Professionals Day to Lou Robinson, Mikala Naoe, and Sam Olson! We’re so grateful for your dedication, organization, and the many ways you keep things running smoothly at Tarragon. Thank you for all that you do!
