How to find public tax information for a Thurston County Parcel
Thurston County tax information for a given parcel is easy to find. There are two options depending on what information you are after. The first is www.geodata.org. Here you can input an address or parcel number for thurston county and it will give you the owner, current years tax amount and all sorts of other information including links to parcel maps with overlays that show flood zones, wetlands, zoning etc. If you are purchasing Olympia, Washington real estate this is an excellent tool. To use, go to the website, click on “Parcel Search” then acknowledge the disclaimer at the bottom. This will take you to the input page where you can put in your address or parcel number if you know it. When the deatils return it has links at the top of the page to open the address in Google maps etc. I have spent many hours using this website, if you have any questions please feel free to email me through my website and I would be happy to help you find the information you need.
Your other option is the Thurston County Assessors website here you can find information relating to the year over year assessments and taxes, permits, structures etc.
as always, search all Thurston County real estate at www.olympiahomebuyers.com

You can show your support for the park by purchasing a customized tribute brick to be placed in the bone shaped entrance to the park. The brick will have your message or tribute engraved and sealed on the brick for all users of the park to see.
The brochure for the new Thurston County Off Leash Dog Park including the donation form to order a tribute brick can be found here.
