Established as a suburb of Seattle, the city of Lacey, located in Thurston County, has a growing population of about 32,000. Lacy is the second fastest growing city in the county that also includes Olympia and Turnwater. During the nineteen sixties Lacey’s main industries included cattle, milk, forest products, and retail. Today, however, Lacey is primarily a bedroom community for Olympia and Tacoma. Retail, warehousing and distribution centers, a large retirement community, a major mushroom farm, and Weyerhaeuser’s corrugated container facility are still located in the city. Many of the city’s residents and visitors love this city because of its slower paced lifestyle as well as its close proximity to lakes and forests and the beautiful Nisqually Valley. Recently, the city has undergone massive building development, a major project being the city’s “Gateway Project.” Lacy is also known as one of the most energy efficient cities in America.
The city of Lacey has much to offer to all of its residents living in home or apartment for rent. The city has many educational opportunities, especially faith based schools and colleges such as St. Martin’s University. Once an indoor mall, the South Sound Center has recently been converted into a beautiful out door mall. There are also many great events that take place in Lacey, such as The Pacific Northwest Mushroom Festival, a community market, summer concerts in the park, America’s Festival of Dixieland Jazz, and a Lacey Spring fun fair.
