Thurston County Courts Get Major Funding Boost

Thurston County just rolled out a major budget reversal, pouring nearly $200K into the clerk’s office in 2026 and more in 2027 to hire two much-needed clerks, while also bringing back limited in-person public services shut down earlier this year. The juvenile court gets a significant boost too—with $65K in 2026 and over $100K in 2027—to tackle truancy cases, funded by a state grant. A new $3.5M fund for jurisdictional court services was also created, using money from cities that contract with the county. And the Sheriff’s Office? They’re shifting a $75K tribal grant away from Flock cameras and toward getting their new helicopter ready for duty. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
