Meet The Managers
Josh met Elicia here in Seattle, as he was changing careers from a merchant mariner working on Bering Sea fishing boats to a port engineer. Not long after that, they got married and had a little girl named Matilda on their live-aboard boat in Salmon Bay. Feeling stuck in life, they made the obvious decision to quit their jobs, convert an old school bus into a tiny home and hit the road with their infant daughter in January of 2020. It was an amazing year and they couldn't have had a better pandemic experience. With 11,000 miles behind them and many good memories, they made the decision to move back to the Pacific Northwest to be close to those that really matter – their friends and family. Having gone from California to Georgia and Florida to Minnesota, nowhere felt as much like home as Seattle.
That's when they had yet, another, great stroke of luck and found Charles Cossé and Cossé Group's Green Lake South Shore Property in need of new resident mangers. Working closely with Charles, they completed many upgrades to the property and units, and made a ton of great friends in the process. In June of 2022, they welcomed Eloise, the newest member of their family to the fold. She hasn't stopped smiling since. Shortly after that, Josh accepted the General Manager position for the company and began working closely with the managers at the rest of the Cossé Group Properties, including Forest Creek.
Elicia has managed everything from Matilda's co-op preschool, a rental house on Phinney Ridge and several Airbnb short-term rentals, to research labs at the University of Washington, and was a valued Family Assistant and Nanny. She's always been happy and happy to help in anyway she can.
Josh has many relevant skills and can fix just about anything. He can weld pretty well, on deck, in 20-foot seas, so fixing a leaky sink on stable ground is no sweat. On the road he found a lot of odd jobs, ranging from repairing AC units in a Florida horse stable, to wiring, drywalling and laying a floor in a small guest house in Colorado and building cabinets and making repairs to several apartments in Michigan. Also, Josh's dad has spent 20 years managing apartments and he has been involved in various aspects of managing them over the years.
When they are not in the apartments you will most likely find them freediving in the Sound with friends or hiking and fishing in the Cascades. Closer to home Elicia is always crafting with Matilda and Josh is always coming up with a new project for him and Eloise.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to them and say hi. They are super excited to be here and hope to correct any issues that might arise!
Their phone number is
(206) 361-9198 and they can be found in Apartment A in Building 1.
