Grand Mound is located about 15 miles south of the Tumwater/Olympia/Lacey metro area, and is experiencing a surge of economic growth. This is due to the easy access to Interstate 5, available rail service, abundant undeveloped property, and the opening of the Great Wolf Lodge hotel resort. Grand Mound is in a critical transition phase from rural farmland to new commercial and higher density residential development.

The
Confederated Tribe of the Chehalis Reservation has released the final

business owners of Grand Mound to begin a community conversation about
the future of Grand Mound. At this time, the County is reviewing formal
changes to land use policy, infrastructure investments, and other
recommendations of the plan.
