Funhouse Commons

A place of belonging and discovery, where every young person is welcome, supported, and inspired!

06/01/2026

We are thrilled to welcome Amanda Zimlich as the new Development Director of the Funhouse Commons!

Amanda brings a lifelong commitment to feeding, welcoming, and connecting people. From Seattle’s fine dining scene to global product development roles with major food brands, and most recently building Otters Pond Bed & Breakfast into a beloved Orcas Island retreat, Amanda has spent her career creating spaces where people feel seen, supported, and cared for.

As Development Director, Amanda will help strengthen community relationships, expand philanthropic partnerships, and advance the Funhouse Commons’ mission to be a place of belonging and discovery so that every young person is welcome, supported, and inspired.

Please also join us in thanking Nicole Spinogatti, who will continue supporting the Funhouse through the transition this summer. We are deeply grateful for Nicole’s leadership, care, and dedication to our community.

Welcome, Amanda! We are excited for this next chapter together.

🎉 FUNFEST IS BACK! 🎉

The FunFest is a community-wide celebration of childhood, the last day of school, and the kickoff to summer — all centered around the Funhouse Commons mission to be a place of belonging and discovery so that every young person on Orcas Island is welcome, supported, and inspired. 💛

We’re transforming the Village Green into one giant FREE party for kids and families with:
🌊 Waterslides
🏰 Bounce houses
🍿 Popcorn
🍧 Snow cones
🍦 Ice cream
🎶 Live music & DJ
💃 Student & dance performances
🎨 Crafts & games
🍋 Lemonade
🍔 Lots of food
…and so much more!

At its heart, FunFest is about creating joyful childhood memories and building the kind of community where every young person feels seen, valued, and uplifted. No winners or losers. No “haves” and “have nots.” Just a village coming together to celebrate kids.

Because we believe:
✨ It takes a Village, and the Funhouse. ✨

Come celebrate the start of summer with us! ☀️
