On Saturday, September 29th, Thurston County residents could proceed along a self-guided tour of area homes.

In total, there are now 132 homes and businesses in our area generating their own power by the grid and net metering system.

Those numbers are expected to continue to climb.

“In the coming decade or so, energy is going to become more expensive,” says Graeme Sackrison, chair of the Thurston Climate Action Team who organized the event. “Thurston County is expected to grow, so demand for energy will increase. It’s a good time to say: ‘What are some options? How can I better prepare myself for this?’”

From solar hot water installations to electrical systems – in private homes, businesses, farms, and churches, tour-goers can travel around at their own pace and see now just how it works but that it really does.
