Olympia City Council updated its email subscription system on August 10, 2026, allowing residents to select specific categories of news they want to receive. The new system replaces the previous method and provides options for categories like Arts & Culture, City Utilities, Climate Actions, Community Safety, and Housing & Homelessness.

Residents can now choose from 14 categories, including Olympia Fire Department and Parks & Recreation, to receive targeted updates. The system requires users to subscribe via email, with a confirmation email sent to verify subscriptions. The city also added instructions to add [email protected] to address books to ensure delivery.

The change aims to improve communication between the city and residents by providing more relevant information. The city encourages residents to update their preferences to receive timely updates on issues that matter to them.
