Olympia City has updated its email subscription system for e-newsletters, adding new groups for residents to select from. The new system allows subscribers to choose specific categories like Arts & Culture, City Utilities, Climate Actions, and more, instead of receiving all updates.

The update, effective September 3, 2026, replaces the old system where residents had to subscribe to all city communications. The new setup lets people pick only the topics they want to receive, such as Olympia Fire Department alerts or Parks & Recreation updates. The city encourages residents to update their subscriptions to avoid receiving unnecessary emails.

Residents must confirm their new subscription preferences by clicking a link in a confirmation email sent to their address. The city states that email addresses provided through the subscription system may be subject to public disclosure.
