Plan for new Costco in Thurston County includes new roundabouts, 2.5-acre forest

The Tumwater City Council unanimously approved a 10-year development agreement with Costco Wholesale Corporation for a new store on the southwest corner of Tumwater Boulevard and Interstate 5 during its Nov. 2 meeting. The plan includes the construction of new roundabouts, redesigning exits to the interstate and the extension of nearby roads. Costco also has to set aside more than 2.5 acres of forest on the property to align with the city’s tree protection goals. According to the agreement, the target completion date for the new Costco is Aug. 31, 2028. Community Development Director Brad Medrud told the City Council on Nov. 2 that the property is flanked by Tumwater Boulevard on the north and Prine Drive Southwest to the south. The proposal is for a Costco Wholesale warehouse that will replace the existing facility in Tumwater at 5500 Littlerock Road Southwest. Medrud said the proposal also includes a carwash and a gas station facility. According to previous reporting from The Olympian , Costco proposed building a 166,157-square-foot retail warehouse with more than 1,000 parking spaces as well as a 20-dispenser gas station on a parcel to be created through a boundary line adjustment at 2413 73rd Ave. SW.

Elementary school evacuated in Pierce County after students find ‘unusual odor'

Staff and students evacuated an elementary school in Spanaway today because of an unusual odor. According to a post from Central Pierce Fire & Rescue, crews went to Naches Trail Elementary School in the 15000 block of Waller Road East at about 7:58 a.m. The school day had not started, but several students who had arrived early noticed the odor and then said they felt ill. Paramedics evaluated the students, then released them to their parents, the post said. Crews also monitored the air throughout the building and said people could re-enter the school safely. While investigating, crews found an illegal outdoor burn in the area, which might have caused the odor, the post said. Crews found the burn and extinguished it. “Bethel School District officials communicated with affected staff and families throughout the incident,” the post said. “Once the building was determined to be safe, students and staff were able to return to school.” CPFR is taking the opportunity to remind residents about the impacts of outdoor burning. “Burning garbage, plastics, treated wood, and other prohibited materials is illegal and releases harmful pollutants into the air. In some areas of our fire district, burning yard waste is prohibited year-round,”

New wood-fired pizza restaurant opening this weekend in East Pierce County

Bonney Lake’s newest family-friendly restaurant will open Saturday, Nov. 7, with a ribbon-cutting at 11 a.m. and a raffle to win free pizza for a year. Cascadia Pizza Co ., which started in Enumclaw as a single food truck in 2015, has partnered with a young but ambitious employee, 22-year-old Jacob Andrew, on the new franchise in the Route 410 plaza just east of the roundabout at 224th Avenue East. The company operates four other restaurants in the region and in recent years expanded to franchising in other states including Idaho, Oregon and Arizona with another in Texas en route. The Bonney Lake location will be its first franchise in Washington state, TNT Diner previously reported, and the first in Pierce County but likely not the last. “I started working at Cascadia when I was 16, and I never imagined that six years later I’d be opening my own location,” he said in a press release this week. “I’ve grown up with this company in so many ways. To have the opportunity to take everything I’ve learned and build something of my own is pretty incredible.” The brand is known for wood-fired pies (10-inch personal, $12-$17, or 14-inch large, $21-$29.50)
