Have Your Say on the City of Laceys Future Through Community Survey

Olympia, WALocal News

Lacey City Council invites residents to participate in the 2025 National Community Survey from May 21 to June 30, 2025, to gather valuable community feedback. Mayor Andy Ryder stresses that such input is crucial for shaping city priorities and funding decisions. The survey, conducted by Polco, allows Lacey to compare itself with similar communities nationwide and track its progress over time. Initially, 3,000 residents will receive invitations via postcard, but an open period in late June will allow all community members to participate. Residents can create a profile on Polco’s website to receive notifications about the survey.

The survey will address various aspects of city life, including economy, mobility, and safety. City Manager Rick Walk notes that the results will guide decisions on funding, services, and community planning. This initiative emphasizes the importance of resident involvement in shaping Lacey's future.
