Union, WA, July 6, 2015 — In 1959, Wes Johnson, a
Hood Canal-area real estate agent, purchased the famed Alderbrook Inn in the
town of Union at the southern tip of the canal and immediately began planning
what today is the Alderbrook Golf and Yacht Club on the wooded hillside above
the Inn. It was 1965 when the Alderbrook Community Association was
incorporated, the first residents moved in and the front nine holes of the golf
course opened for play.

Today, Alderbrook, a thriving community of some 350 homes built
around a gorgeous 18-hole PGA-style golf course, is celebrating its Golden Anniversary
with special events throughout the year. The community’s official 50th
Anniversary celebration will be July 26 at the community’s Clubhouse. Federal,
state and local officials as well as local business people have been invited to
join the celebration as residents dedicate a time capsule, view slide shows
relating the history of their area, recognize long-time members and families and
toast the next fifty years. A new, permanent exhibit commemorating the history
of the community also will be unveiled that day.
