Lacey City Council will review a proposed update to the city's Stormwater Strategic Plan, which guides stormwater utility activities and ratepayer information. The plan update, issued June 29, 2026, applies to Lacey's incorporated limits and has public comments due July 13. The document does not specify costs or timeline.

Tumwater City Council is considering a preliminary plat for Anderson Place, a proposed subdivision of 14. 54 acres into 85 single-family lots and six community tracts. The development, located at 2701 and 2719 70th Ave SW, would include infrastructure, frontage improvements, and open space. Public comments on the project are due July 15.

Two other projects were filed in Thurston County but do not directly affect Olympia. The Ceasor Shoreline Restoration project is located in Yelm, and the Colvin Ranch grading project is in Tenino. Neither project is within Olympia city limits or affects local residents' daily life.
