It has fallen out of vogue to refer to public employees as “public servants,” but not here; we’re here to serve you. We are committed to providing you, the citizens of Tenino, with fast and effective service. We share your values, that’s why we’re here. We understand the conditions here in South Thurston County and strive to support our council and our citizens to achieve and maintain a standard of living second to none.
