Hoquiam Hotel Is Now In The Hands Of Court-Appointed Receiver

Everyone staying there had to be out by October 30th. The receiver can now sell the property. A Hoquiam hotel that was supposed to become affordable housing is now in the hands of a court-appointed receiver. The Daily World reports the lender behind the Anchor Pointe Inn and Suites on Simpson Avenue went to court, and a Bellevue company took control of the property October 23rd. The owner, The Moore Wright Group, bought the former Econo Lodge for $4.2 million last year and agreed to rent 49 units to lower-income households, but reopened it as a hotel instead. Everyone staying there had to be out by October 30th. The receiver can now sell the property.

New Pierce County grocery store opens soon in former Rite Aid building

A new grocery store in the works for over a year in Pierce County is set to open this month. In a social media post this week, Grocery Outlet announced the store at 22201 Meridian E. in Graham will have its grand opening at 7 a.m. Nov. 19. Monday was the first day of stocking and “setting the store,” according to the post. In early October, the store announced more than 300 people had applied to work at the store. The News Tribune first reported on plans for the store in October 2025 . The building, formerly a Rite Aid, was purchased in May 2025 by an LLC affiliated with Dickerhoof Properties of Corvallis, Oregon. Dickerhoof owns/manages retail property across multiple states. Plans for the Graham site were submitted near the end of July 2025. Another Dickerhoof Properties-affiliated property in Belfair (also a former Rite Aid) saw the opening of a Grocery Outlet last fall. A third new Grocery Outlet that’s been planned for the former Big Lots site at 5401 100th St. SW, Suite 102, is still in the works. Kelie Kahler, media representative for the City of Lakewood, told The News Tribune via email late Tuesday that: “The

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.

Early election results are in for Thurston County Sheriff race

Incumbent Thurston County Sheriff Derek Sanders led challenger Kevin Burton-Crow by a large margin in early election returns Tuesday night. Sanders, an independent, led with 44,164 votes (68.7%) while Burton-Crow, a Democrat, trailed behind with 19,967 votes (31%), according to the tallies released by the county Auditor’s Office. The Sheriff’s Office polices unincorporated areas of Thurston County and operates a jail based in Tumwater with a total annual budget of about $68 million. Since starting his first term in 2023, Sanders has overseen a growing Sheriff’s Office with dozens more deputies and a new headquarters in Tumwater. The dollars to support this growth have come from a voter-approved public safety sales tax that Sanders backed in his first year in office. Sanders learned of his early lead while at an election night party at the Hangar 51 Event Center in Tumwater. He called the results a “great victory” in a phone call with The Olympian. “I’m ready to serve for another four years,” Sanders said. “I am extremely proud of the Sheriff’s Office and I believe Thurston County voters got it right.” Sanders added that he looks forward to watching the Sheriff’s Office grow during his second term.
