Because of Thurston County's the central location (i.e.: sits astride I-5 / sits astride US 101 / sits astride BNSF & Union Pacific north-south main line / proximity to JBLM / abundant developable acreage / etc / etc) the State will NEVER allow its hands to be tied against future development by designating ANY of Thurston's land as conservable and, thus, off limits to development!
