Lacey launches first night market at Depot Park on April 4

The City of Lacey held its latest meeting on March 28, 2025, highlighting several community initiatives and events aimed at enhancing local engagement and sustainability.

One of the most anticipated events is the first night market at Lacey Depot Park, scheduled for Friday, April 4, from 4 PM to 9 PM. The market promises a vibrant atmosphere with food vendors, including Dick's Drive-In, local shopping opportunities, live entertainment, and more. The event is free to the public, encouraging families and friends to come together for an enjoyable evening.

In addition to the night market, the City is actively updating its comprehensive plan, which serves as a 20-year roadmap for growth and development in Lacey. Community input is crucial in this process. Residents who missed the open house in February are encouraged to review materials and provide feedback through the City’s website, envisiontomorrowlacy.org. This initiative allows citizens to learn about the comprehensive plan and its significance in shaping Lacey's future.

Furthermore, the City is promoting energy efficiency through the Energize Thurston campaign, a partnership with Thurston County and neighboring cities. This program offers discounted installations of heat pump systems for heating and cooling. To participate, residents must attend an educational workshop, with the next session scheduled for April 22 from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM at the Lacey Timberland Library. More information and registration details can be found at energizethirston.org.

These initiatives reflect Lacey's commitment to community involvement and sustainable development, inviting residents to engage actively in shaping their environment.
