The City of Olympia is ranked in the top tier of "Local Parks" projects to be recommended for funding from the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Board. Earlier this year, the City applied for $750,000 of the total cost to acquire a 9-acre parcel of Ward Lake shoreline and uplands.  After an intensive application and review process, the City has been prioritized for funding, which must be approved by the Governor and the Legislature later this year.  After 23 years without a public, freshwater swimming area in Olympia, we are particularly excited to be assisting the City in their efforts to meet this community need.
