The Board of County Commissioners on July 22 approved a five-year renewal of the lease for the sheriff’s West End office located in a building owned by the Quileute Tribe on Highway 101 toward Forks.

County staff said the sheriff’s office has leased the space since 2010 for office use, storage and energy space supporting deputies and personnel working on the county’s west end. The renewed lease increases monthly rent from $1,200 to $1,500 and retains an annual escalator similar to the prior agreement.

Commissioners moved and seconded approval; the motion carried on a voice vote with commissioners indicating unanimous support.

Ending: The county will execute the renewed lease and continue use of the space to support west-end sheriff’s operations.
