The Tumwater, WA City Planning Commission held a work session on June 9, 2026, primarily focused on reviewing updates to building demolition codes and scheduling a public hearing for June 23, 2026, to consider the proposed ordinance changes. The commission discussed adding a definition for "foundation" consistent with the International Building Code and emphasized a flexible approach to foundation removal during demolition projects, with final decisions resting with the city. Additionally, there was discussion about upcoming code updates, a joint tree board tour, and inquiries regarding the city's administrative building plans and capital projects, including a maintenance facility and a roundabout on Highway 99.
