Lacey, WA wasn't always called Lacey - it first was named Woodland after Isaac & Catherine Wood who claimed land there in 1853. It did not incorporate until December of 1966, and the name Lacey came from developer and attorney O.C. Lacey.

Lacey is a city without a real downtown - or maybe it has two downtowns. The city hall and library and Woodland Square (yes, there's that name Woodland again), along with one of the main commercial areas are perhaps one downtown. And the fast growing area known as Hawks Prairie is another downtown of sorts - at least a major retail and office location.

Watch for more historical tidbits about other Thurston County towns and cities soon!

The city of Olympia is going through their process to update the city comprehensive plan, and inviting input on your vision for the Olympia of the future. There are plenty of issues to weigh in on - how does the city encourage more housing close in? Should building heights near the waterfront be increased? Should provisons be made to protect the low lying areas from possible rising sea levels? What about transportation, parking, downtown vitality, public perceptions of safety, etc etc. You get the idea!

And now is the time to let your voice be heard on these issues and more. You can find more information about the process at www.imagineolympia.com. This will list times and places where you can come to share your thoughts, or you can comment right on the website.
