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.

Join our Environmental Health Division for a Healthy Yard & Garden Workshop. This free workshop focuses on how to create and maintain a safe and healthy yard for a healthier community. Join us to learn ways to prevent pest and weed issues and how to choose the safest products if problems arise. We’ll share information about choosing plants that thrive in our area that are low-maintenance and adapted to our climate.
