We are so pleased that the Tenino Community Service Center/Tenino Food Bank Plus has a place to call home. They are an important and tireless resource for our community.

Crossing All the T’s and Dotting All the I’s.

A huge shout-out to Seth Sharp Realty for answering my call and bringing his knowledge to the table to get us across the finish line as winners. With Seth's knowledge and professionalism, the contract/purchase was completed as painlessly as possible.

Thank you, Mayor David Watterson and the City of Tenino-Government, for working with us to get the Tenino Community Service Center into its forever home, sorely needed to continue serving an ever-growing community.

The Tenino Quarry Pool received a generous sponsorship of $7,500 today! Putnam Lieb Potvin Daily Attorneys at Law had this to say, "(We are) pleased to support the Tenino Quarry Pool. We are so impressed by the pool and its role as a valuable community resource in Tenino and Thurston County as a whole....We hope the pool has a great season and we hope to be able to stop by this summer."

Sponsorships and donations help to off-set the high cost of pool operations so that we can maintain a safe and fun experience for the whole family. We encourage everyone to come out this summer and swim this unique location.

Let us know if you are interested in a Quarry Pool Sponsorship. It's a great way to spread a little community joy.

Opening Day is Family Fun Day, June 27th!
