The State Department of Corrections told KIRO Newsradio move-ins are on pause while the county and facility staff address zoning and environmental concerns.

told KIRO Newsradio move-ins are on pause while the county and facility staff address zoning and environmental concerns. Thurston County Manager Ramiro Chavez told KIRO Newsradio the facility needs to meet code and permitting requirements.

“One of the key elements they need to meet is county health laws and regulations, which is governing safe water supply, adequate sewage disposal, and proper waste management services,” Chavez said. “A facility must be served by an approved public water supply and approved and connected to the housing facility before he can be open and occupied.”

The “less restrictive” housing also has other potential problems that could slow things down even more, including the need to evaluate the food providers for the facility and how they will provide food for the individuals residing here. The plan was for a 15-acre property in a rural part of Tenino to become a Less Restrictive Alternative . The state describes the program as an “outpatient treatment program in a community setting.” Up to five former sex offenders could live in the house at one time.

“As for today, I have not heard whether they’re planning to comply with those permits,” Chavez said. “The three big elements: Their water supply, the septic system, and the food service, there’s no way they could have secured all of that in order for them to open today.”

'Unacceptable:' State workers get death threats over planned sex offender housing facility near TeninoThe Thurston County Sheriff's Office says employees with the Department of Corrections (DOC) and the Department of Social & Health Services (DSHS) have received death threats and property destruction threats over a planned facility to house Level 3 sex offenders near Tenino. Maybe the Tenino idea is the wrong one. Ever consider that? It is! Move them to Seattle where every other freak in the State resides? I believe it was the state that first threatened the good people of Tenino. That is what’s ‘unacceptable’ Put these monsters in the governor’s mansion. Plenty of room there.
