Tumwater is a vibrant community, rich in history, community, and opportunity.
Nestled into the base of Puget Sound, Tumwater is the southern gateway to the Seattle/Tacoma metropolitan area. It’s just a little over an hour from the Pacific Ocean beaches, the Olympic Peninsula, and Mount Rainier with beautiful landscapes of prairie, river, estuary, and lush green trees. With its central location, Tumwater is a picturesque Northwest community with convenient access to arts, cultural and outdoor recreation.
Our vision is to create a future that is highly livable with diverse and engaged residents, a strong economy, and a healthy natural environment. Safe neighborhoods, quality schools, and a sense of community pride make Tumwater a great place to live, work, and play.
The City of Tumwater is seeking a dynamic Senior Planner to perform complex land use planning and zoning work as part of an interdisciplinary team. The position may be assigned duties in the Planning Division and/or Permit Division.
