The State of the Community Report & Address
by David Schaffert, President/CEO, Thurston County Chamber
Every January, the Thurston Chamber brings together elected officials from Lacey, Olympia, Tenino, Tumwater, Yelm, and Thurston County for the State of the Community Address. It’s a chance to hear directly from our leaders about what’s happening in our communities and what’s on the horizon. We’re excited to share the State of the Community Report with you. This comprehensive report is crafted from submissions by elected officials representing Lacey, Olympia, Tenino, Tumwater, Yelm, and Thurston County.
This year, we asked them:
1. Going into 2025, it looks like State and local government revenues are not keeping pace with planned expenditures. What will this mean for your jurisdiction in the future?
2. What projects or activities drive your optimism for your jurisdiction's economy heading into 2025 and why?
You’ll find their responses starting on page 7 of this issue.
We also invite you to join us for the State of the Community Address on Wednesday, January 8, 2025. You’ll hear from Lacey Mayor Andy Ryder, Tumwater Mayor Debbie Sullivan, Olympia Mayor Dontae Payne, Yelm Mayor Joe DePinto, Tenino Mayor David Watterson, and Thurston County Commissioner Chair Tye Menser. Together, they’ll present an address, followed by a Q&A session that I’ll be moderating.
This event is a rare opportunity to engage directly with our local leaders and join the conversation about the challenges and opportunities we face as a region. With state and local government revenues struggling to keep pace with planned expenditures, these discussions are more important than ever.
We look forward to seeing you there!

COFFEE
PUB NW, TUMWATER I L to R: Owners James Mickelson, Craig Richards, Dawn Richards
W hen the owners of Coffee Pub NW were ready to make their dream a reality, OlyFed was the trusted partner they could count on to be there for them every step of the way through the SBA loan process.
OlyFed went above and beyond in helping to map out financing that provided leasehold improvements, equipment purchases, inventory and working capital. OlyFed’s expertise made for a stress-free experience and was beyondwhat they expected from a bank.
It’s OlyFed’s caring approach that showed them what local businesses have known for 118 years; OlyFed puts real relationships above the bottom line.

Every year, the Thurston Chamber hosts senior elected officials from Lacey, Olympia, Tenino, Tumwater, Yelm and Thurston County at the State of the Community Address.
We’re excited to share the State of the Community Report with you! This comprehensive report is crafted from submissions by elected officials representing Lacey, Olympia, Tenino, Tumwater, Yelm, and Thurston County.
This year's State of the Community questions are:
1. Going into 2025, it looks like State and local government revenues are not keeping pace with planned expenditures. What will this mean for your jurisdiction in the future?
2. What projects or activities drive your optimism for your jurisdiction's economy heading into 2025 and why?
You’ll find the answers to these questions, written by the elected officials, in the following pages. We encourage you to read their statements and then attend the State of the Community Address on Wednesday, January 8, 2025.
At the State of the Community Address, Lacey Mayor Andy Ryder, Tumwater Mayor Debbie Sullivan, Olympia Mayor Dontae Payne, Yelm Mayor Joe DePinto, Tenino Mayor David Watterson, and Thurston County Commissioner Chair Tye Menser will collectively present an address and then will take part in a question-andanswer session moderated by Thurston Chamber President/CEO, David Schaffert. This is a unique opportunity to engage with our elected officials and be part of the conversations on important community issues. We look forward to seeing you there.
Despite economic challenges and uncertainties, we're proud that the City of Lacey will retain all staff and continue to support essential services and priorities, including public safety, transportation, utilities, parks, culture and recreation, and community and economic development.
Lacey will advance or begin several key initiatives and priority projects:
New Police Station: Set for completion next summer, this facility will include a state-of-the-art training center, offering a venue for regional and statewide law enforcement organizations. It will also have the potential to host a satellite law enforcement academy, all without raising taxes.
Human Services: Lacey will introduce its own Community Development Block Grant program, adding to our existing Human Services Grant Program, which recently supported 10 community providers. Together, these programs will allocate an estimated $600,000 to support vital local services.
Andy Ryder
Regional Athletic Complex Phase 3: The RAC is one of the most used and celebrated parks in the state, featuring many types of recreational areas. The expansion project looks to add a new baseball stadium, softball fields, road crossing, additional parking, more walking trails, a playground, and will resurface an existing soccer field to turf and hopefully more!
Economic Development:
• Due to the popularity of the Food Truck Depot, we’re undergoing a study for a permanent food truck court.
• The Depot itself will undergo ADA upgrades, and our popular Night Market events will continue to be a highlight.
• We are implementing an Economic Development Strategic Plan to identify key initiatives and actionable items to guide economic growth over the next five years.
Cuoio Park: Phase 1 of this exciting new park will break ground soon featuring park entrances, 18-hole professional disc golf course, 100 acres of soft-surface trails, 5 acres of hard-surface trails, playground, picnic shelter, parking lot, lighting, signage, and more.
While we celebrate these initiatives, we know we have challenges to ensure a sustainable path forward but working together for the benefit of our community is what we do best. Visit us at CityofLacey.org to learn more!
Lacey
Q1: If revenues continue to lag behind expenditures, the city may face difficult decisions regarding budget prioritization and fiscal management. Some implications of tightened budget constraints will reduce funding that may necessitate cuts or adjustments in services, particularly in non-essential areas, or could even impact programs the community has told us are priorities.
Budgetary constraints could lead to hiring freezes, reduced staffing levels, or limited growth opportunities for city employees. This could also affect morale and operational efficiency. Financial pressures may drive the City to explore innovative solutions to deliver services more efficiently. Leveraging technology, pursuing publicprivate partnerships, and seeking grants or alternative funding sources will be crucial. If revenue shortfalls persist, there may be discussions about revisiting local tax structures or introducing new revenue streams to support essential services and obligations. The City is currently exploring implementation of a priority-based budgeting process, which will strategically align city resources, provide additional transparency, and quickly determine costs for programs and services across departments.
Q2: We continue to see great mixed use and multifamily projects coming out of the ground in Olympia. In the core of Downtown Olympia, we have three great housing projects under construction right now totaling 170 new units coming on line in the next year and we’ve got 4 more projects totaling 292 additional apartments
in the pipeline. This continued resurgence of development activity in our downtown adds to more vibrancy, more activity, and a stronger business climate for our local entrepreneurs.

We’re seeing longtime vacant storefronts fill in and be recharged with great new businesses – what has happened with the former Greyhound bus station is a perfect example of this – if you have not been to the Bus Stop, go check it out. Another example is the former Capital Savings and Loan building, this building will be home to a local, women-owned legal and records search firm that started and has continued to choose Olympia for their expansion. Olympia continues to be a hub arts and culture, which brings in tourism and makes Olympia a fun place to live. There is a great slate of concerts, performances, and events headed your way in 2025. Look for the Funkfest in February, LoveOly Summerfest in June, and the South Sound Block Party to wrap up your summer in August.

MAYOR
David Watterson
As I write this, we are nearing the end of 2024 and preparing to start off 2025.
In my first year in office as Mayor I want to start by saying how thankful I am to the Citizens of Tenino, our employees and partners who have helped guide us in our work. Without all of you we would not have been able to accomplish all that we have.
I have to say in 2024 we were able to accomplish a lot for a small City of 2000. We reopened the Quarry pool after a much-needed renovation. The pool was a big hit, and we had a record number of visitors from all across the region. We continued with the construction of our Agriculture Innovation Park and hopefully we will be finished with our first two buildings at the end of this year or early next. A
grant allowed us to purchase an additional 60+ acres of park land thanks to a grant from the Angela Bowen Foundation. This property will be preserved as forestland and will have trails for people to enjoy when finished. Lastly, we were able to complete some significant street repaving projects.
As with many Cities we also faced some challenges. Our revenues have lagged our expenditures to maintain services. We will have to follow closely our spending in 2025 to assure we keep them within our revenue forecast.
I am looking forward to working with all of you in 2025 to build on partnerships and look for ways we can work together to deliver the best services to our citizens we can. I hope you all have a great and successful year in 2025.
MAYOR
Debbie Sullivan
Q1: Managing to maintain and enhance the livelihoods of a city is no picnic. 2025 and beyond will be no different. Investments for providing services and maintenance increase with growing populations, inflation, state and federal mandates, and social complexity. We expect no different now.
That said, the City of Tumwater has established a history of sound fiscal planning that has provided us with more options than many cities. With the recent passage of our city budget, we have embarked on a long-term strategy that recognizes economic realities and growing challenges. We are looking to strengthen our budget and understand new community needs in 2025-26. We are consciously realigning our work to those needs in 2027-28, and we are refining with new approaches to sustainable financing thereafter.
We are optimistic that Tumwater will meet each challenge as it always has. This city is resilient, responsible, and caring. Those are major strengths.
Q2: Tumwater has many reasons for optimism.
Our population is growing, businesses are choosing Tumwater, and we have established a great infrastructure and quality of life foundation with the assistance of voter approved financing options like the Transportation Benefit District and the Metropolitan Park District.
Frankly, without these measures, our city would struggle to provide the levels of community benefits and service its residents deserve and expect. Our City has a history of sound fiscal management and work to stay connected and cognizant of the needs of its residents. The community has matched that responsibility with support for our dynamic culture and commitment to meeting continuing challenges.
Tumwater is a small city “at heart” that cares for its residents – while it is also a bigger city by many social indicators -- with new ambitions, needs, and dreams. As we grow larger, we are doing our best to hold onto the instinct to look out for one another. Our community’s continued willingness to work together, be good neighbors to those in need, support funding initiatives, and trust each other to expand economic horizons locally drives my optimism for Tumwater and its future.
Tumwater
Yelm
In Yelm, we have been very fortunate to not have the same budget constraints and challenges that surrounding cities are facing. While many cities are finding themselves with expenditures greater than their revenue, in Yelm we are seeing historic economic growth in our local sales tax and B&O tax revenue. We also saw increased revenue from building permits, a direct correlation to Yelm being the 5th fastest growing city in Washington State in 2024. Yelm has a strong economic outlook for 2025.
Understanding that revenue from sales tax and building permits can fluctuate, we spend a lot of one time money over expenditures that are going to require annual funding. We are still able to increase staffing levels to provide better service for our community but we are very methodical and fiscally conservative in the approach. Labor costs for any organization are usually the biggest budget expenditures and cities are no different. We have a biennial budget in Yelm and the 20252026 budget was unanimously approved by the city council, fully balanced, does not increase taxes, prioritizes police and transportation projects, and puts a large amount of funding into our reserves.
Next year we will complete the renovation of our $37 million Water Reclamation Facility, start construction of the final phase of the Yelm Loop (which has been delayed for decades) and also see the construction of 4 new roundabouts, including one just outside of Yelm in McKenna, which is the main bottleneck for traffic in our area. We look forward to reducing traffic in Yelm which will also alleviate overall traffic in Thurston County.
Having just celebrated our centennial last year, I am confident that Yelm will continue to grow and prosper over the next 100 years. It has been an honor to lead my hometown as Mayor and an absolute privilege to work with our wonderful city employees that ensure our community is safe, accessible, and the best place in Thurston County to live. If you haven’t been to Yelm lately, come check us out!

Thurston County
Q1: Like many state and local governments, Thurston County is facing a decline in general fund tax collections, projected to impact the county’s financial outlook for 2025 and beyond. The two-year budget running through December 31, 2025, is now estimated at $250 million, representing a $25 million decrease from initial 2024-2025 forecast models.
To address these fiscal concerns, Thurston County is taking a proactive approach in 2025, increasing the frequency of budget reviews to closely monitor tax revenue collections. By tracking these indicators in real-time, the county will be better positioned to respond swiftly to continued, declining indicators of fiscal insolvency.
This early and vigilant oversight also provides leadership with the opportunity to develop strategic budget containment measures. The county will have the necessary time to evaluate options and implement actionable plans in advance of the 2026-2027 biennial budget. This approach will ensure decisions are grounded in long-term sustainability,
protecting essential services, and minimizing disruption to residents.
Q2: As we look ahead to 2025, Thurston County is poised for opportunity, fueled by strategic infrastructure investments that lay the groundwork for economic growth. By addressing key needs in transportation, outdoor recreation, and planning, the county is creating an environment that will attract private-sector development, encourage tourism, and enhance livability.
In Grand Mound and Rochester, robust transportation infrastructure projects will ease traffic flow, enhance safety, and support future growth. The Marvin Road Project, already under construction, incorporates shared-use paths and urban amenities to improve accessibility for businesses and residents. These infrastructure projects are vital for driving economic growth and attracting private sector investment, supporting future development.
Thurston County’s investment in recreational infrastructure, including the Gate-Belmore Trail and YelmRainier-Tenino Trail Extension, further drives optimism. Coupled with a 2% lodging tax increase set to begin in 2025, these projects highlight the county’s commitment to supporting growth in the tourism sector.
Thurston County is also enhancing agricultural supports through updated agriculture zoning and code updates, encouraging agritourism, and supporting diversified income for farmers. Additionally, the Industrial Lands Inventory positions the county to expand its industrial base, creating new opportunities for business and job growth.

Shared Legislative Agenda 2025
by Doug Mah, Doug Mah & Associates, Thurston Chamber Public Policy Director
Each year, the Public Policy Division of the Thurston Chamber convenes the Shared Legislative Partnership. The Partnership works to advance regional priorities for the upcoming State Legislative Session. These priorities, when approved, will provide multiple and broad benefits to the entire region due to the significant scope and impact across and between entities.
The list of regional priorities for 2025 include:
Budd
Inlet Clean-up and Restoration
Budd Inlet is contaminated from historical industrial activities. This pollution harms human health, the local ecology, and impairs maritime operations and recreational boating. The Port of Olympia is investigating the cleanup and collaborating with local, state, federal, and tribal partners to develop a longterm plan. Resources are needed to keep the project on schedule. Capital Budget Request: $3M
Deschutes Estuary Restoration
The State constructed a dam at the mouth of the Deschutes River in 1951 to create a lake feature for the Capitol Campus. This structure has a negative impact on habitat and increased flood elevations in downtown Olympia. The State will remove the dam and restore 260 acres of historic estuarine habitat that is critical to the growth and restoration of ESA-listed salmon and other
important species and address chronic water quality violations in Budd Inlet. The dam will be removed after the Port of Olympia has completed its remediation of contaminated sediments in Budd Inlet. Funds will complete design and permitting, transition into construction in early 2027, acquire affected properties, and support project administration.
Capital Budget Request: $25M
Regional Animal Shelter and Control Facility
Joint Animal Services (JAS) is jointly operated by the cities of Lacey, Olympia, Tumwater, and Thurston County from an 8,000 sq. ft. facility that serves as the community’s primary shelter for animal rescues and homeless pets. The agency currently serves almost 304,000 residents across 774 square miles of urban and rural terrain and has significantly outgrown the old and failing facility. Resources are sought to conduct design work for a new facility. Capital Budget Request: $2M

Regional Meat Processing Infrastructure
Western Washington lacks regional meat processing facilities, causing long wait times and high transport costs for producers. A new facility at the Southwest Washington Agricultural Business and Innovation Park in Tenino will enhance local food production, support producers, and improve supply chain resilience. Funds will cover infrastructure installation, design, development, and site preparation, leading to Phase 2 construction with a private partner. Capital Budget Request: $750K
Regional Basic Law Enforcement Academies (BLEA)
As departments across the State work to fill vacant officer positions, there is a backlog of new recruits waiting to go to the academy. This backlog is creating delays of between hiring and deploying a new police officer. Funds will provide BLEA classes in Thurston County at the new City of Lacey Police Training facility to expedite the training of police officers. The Criminal Justice Training Commission successfully launched regional BLEAs in the Northeast, Southeast, and South portions of the state. Operating Budget Request: $1M
Sustain Regional Homeless Actions
In Thurston County, State Rights of Way Initiative funds support a continuous stay shelter, a new enhanced
shelter, a tiny home village, and hoteling and rent assistance for families and those fleeing domestic violence. However, funding ends on June 30, 2025. Securing operational resources after this date is critical to ensure that residents of temporary housing are not displaced when funding ends. Capital funds are needed to convert Maple Court, funded under the Rights of Way Initiative, into affordable permanent supportive housing as planned. Operating Budget Request: $9.2M and Capital Budget Request: $11M
About the Shared Legislative Partnership:
Leaders representing the business community and local government in Thurston County adopt and support shared legislative priorities for the 2025 State Legislative Session. These priorities focus on common interests to maintain the region’s economic vitality and generate opportunities that enhance the quality of life for residents across the region. The Shared Legislative Partnership and Agenda is established by the cities of Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, Yelm, Thurston County, Port of Olympia, Nisqually Indian Tribe, Squaxin Island Tribe, Chehalis Tribe, Thurston Regional Planning Council, Thurston County Economic Development Council, South Puget Sound Community College, and the Thurston County Chamber of Commerce.
