The content on the Thurston County website is currently provided in English. We are providing the “Translation” for approximately 10 languages. The goal of the translation is to provide visitors with limited English proficiency to access information on the website in other languages. The translations do not translate all types of documents, and it may not give you an exact translation all the time. The translations are made through an automated process, which may not result in accurate or precise translations, particularly of technical and legal terminology.

Trails

Thanks to the efforts and creativity of Thurston County staff and support from city, state, and federal agencies, the vision of a trail system linking urban and rural Thurston County is becoming a reality! There are 47.5 miles of recreational trail corridors, with further expansion plans as funding is available. There are mileposts every half mile, each with a QR code that links to the trail site for closure updates and maintenance information.
