Thurston County Buys Sheriff’s Storage | Seattle News

Thurston County is set to buy a key storage property in Tumwater for $2.5 million — a move that could save millions in long-term rent and secure critical space for armored vehicles and boats. Already leased by the Sheriff’s Office, the site on New Market Street SW is ideal for storage despite not being office-ready. The deal, signed in May and approved by voters via the Public Safety Sales Tax, includes a ground lease with the Port of Olympia. Sheriff Derek Sanders supports the purchase, calling it a smart investment in equity and operational readiness. County commissioners will vote on final approval July 21 — and with the property bought below appraised value, officials say it’s the most cost-effective option.
