Thurston County general government operations currently located at the Courthouse Complex on Lakeridge Drive, Olympia, are moving to a new location at 3000 Pacific Avenue, Olympia, also known as The Atrium. While the move will result in days where the offices and departments public lobbies will be closed, online and telephone services will still be available.
The Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) will continue to hold all public meetings at the Courthouse Complex, 2000 Lakeridge Drive, Building 1, Room 280 through December 31, 2022. The BoCC meetings will be held at 3000 Pacifice Avenue beginning January 1, 2023.
Offices and departments will pack and move the last two working days of the week, unpack on a Monday, and open to the public on a Tuesday. This move will not interfere with elections or voter services.
County Manager, Ramiro Chavez said, “We understand this may cause disruptions for those seeking county services during the move, we just ask that you please be patient with staff as we move through this process and get back to serving the public as quickly and efficiently as possible.”
