Draw a 30-mile radius around Satsop Business Park and you will cover most of five counties: Grays Harbor, Thurston, Mason, Lewis and Pacific. Starting, relocating or expanding a business is easy when you consider the flexibility provided by this unique industrial park.
“30 miles, 30 minutes and 300,000 people,” explains CEO Tami Garrow when describing the market reach of the Satsop Business Park, located on the edge of Grays Harbor and Thurston counties.
Businesses operating in the Park have easy proximity to major markets up and down the I-5 corridor. Add access to a stable workforce and a scenic drive on a four-lane highway and it’s easy to see why many businesses consider locating in the Satsop Business Park.
Satsop Business Park, a quick 30-minute drive from Olympia via Highway 101, has a proven record of incubating small businesses and helping companies grow. Garrow describes a typical Park client – a small manufacturing business that only needed a portion of a warehouse. “In effect, we place a piece of tape on the warehouse floor and only charge for the space they are using. When business expands, we pull up the tape. We are willing to give a company plenty of room to grow,” explains Garrow.
Businesses consider relocating to Satsop Business Park when they outgrow their current space. Companies want to retain a skilled workforce and recognize that a short commute, just outside Olympia, is an important factor when considering moving.
Choosing to locate a business in the Satsop Business Park gives a company options. “A business can rent anything from a small office fit for one or two employees to 50,000 square feet of manufacturing space,” states Garrow. “We often handle the tenant improvements to help a company grow. We know that that’s in the best interest of our tenants as well as creating future use options for the building. Most importantly, we are helping put people to work. Every time a company expands, jobs are created and our region benefits.”
Flexible lease options are another hallmark of operating in the business park. “We try very hard to customize the lease for each company. We will do what it takes to make this a place where business can make a profit because if the business succeeds, the Park grows,” reports Garrow.
Warehousing and distribution operations, customized workforce training facilities, telecom network monitoring services and light manufacturing are examples of how private businesses and government agencies utilize space at Satsop Business Park.
“We recently adopted a Comprehensive Master Plan for the Park, completed the SEPA review and impact analyses in anticipation of future growth, and can offer pad-ready upland sites with no mitigation or impact fees, no wetlands and no surprises. All the infrastructure – from unlimited bandwidth to ultra-reliable power to a Park-wide stormwater system – is in place. We are ready for whatever opportunities come our way,” says Garrow.
And, what about those huge nuclear cooling towers? While the nuclear power plant was never fueled or fired, the towers do provide an iconic backdrop for this super-sized mixed-use business park in Southwest Washington.
“We want to help businesses grow and thrive, creating new jobs and revenue for our region. We are so grateful for our current tenants and hope their success will attract others who recognize the Park’s many benefits,” states Garrow.
“We welcome any idea that creatively re-uses our facilities” said Garrow.
