​What to Expect

Learning the technology
If you haven't used online meeting services regularly, you may find it takes a bit of practice.  County staff tested various services and found that computers, audio, video, smart phones and other devices or components sometimes don't work the way you hope. Be patient with yourself and others. The first few times may be a bit clunky.

Rules of Civil Particpation
Please be civil and courteous when engaging with others online. These meetings are recorded. To learn more, watch Thurston County Commissioners discuss civility on Youtube.
