Nisqually Subarea Plan
The Nisqually Subarea Plan guides county government policies and plans for future development in the Nisqually planning area over the next 20 years. The Nisqually Subarea Plan is part of the larger Thurston County Comprehensive Plan and was last revised in 1992. The updated version will reflect new community goals and align with current laws and regulations.
The update is not yet written, and will be jointly planned between Thurston County staff, residents, and organizations within the Nisqually Planning Area. Please join us for the Summer 2025 focus groups to be a part of the plan's design and process!
