thurston county
Thurston County is the southernmost county of the Salish Sea. South County drains to the Chehalis River Basin, while the North County drains to the Salish Sea. The largest Municipalities are City of Olympia, City of Tumwater, and City of Lacey, which contain roughly half the County’s residents. The remaining towns are scattered over the southern half of the County. From east to west, large Salish Sea watersheds include a large area of the Nisqually River Watershed which forms the County’s eastern boundary Henderson Inlet Ecosystem including the Woodland Creek Watershed and Woodard Creek Watershed, Budd Inlet Ecosystem including the large Deschutes River Watershed, Eld Inlet Watershed including the McLain Creek Watershed and Green Cove Creek Watershed, and a portion of the Totten Inlet Watershed including parts of the Kennedy Creek Watershed. Across the Chehalis Divide the Black River Basin no longer receives significant flows from Black Lake, and is joined by the Scatter Creek Watershed in the Outwash Plains and the Prairie Reach of the Chehalis River. Most of the Skookumchuck River Watershed is also located in Thurston County.
