🛒 Costco Plans to Relocate in Tumwater

Big Changes Are on the Horizon for Costco in Tumwater!

If you live in Tumwater or the greater Olympia area, you’ve probably shopped at the local Costco more times than you can count. Well, get ready—because Costco is planning to relocate to a brand-new location in Tumwater, and it could bring major improvements for shoppers and the local economy!

The news has been circulating, and while we’re still waiting on all the official details, here’s what we know so far.

Where Is Costco Moving?

The current Tumwater Costco—which has served the area for years—is reportedly outgrowing its existing space. The new location is expected to offer:

🏗️ A Larger Store – More space to shop and expanded departments.
🅿️ Better Parking – No more circling the lot for 10 minutes!
⛽ New Gas Station Layout – Smoother traffic flow and more pumps to reduce wait times.

While the exact site hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, the relocation is rumored to be within Tumwater city limits, strategically placed for easier access and more efficient traffic management.

Why This Relocation Matters

Costco isn’t just a store—it’s a major economic driver for the Tumwater area. Here’s why this move is important:

✔ Better Shopping Experience – Shoppers can expect a larger warehouse, more inventory, and less congestion, making those Costco trips a lot more enjoyable.
✔ Boost to the Local Economy – A new and improved Costco means more jobs, more foot traffic, and an economic ripple effect for nearby businesses.
✔ Improved Infrastructure – A new location could come with road improvements and traffic upgrades, benefiting the entire area.

What’s Next?

Right now, Costco is still in the planning and permitting stages, working with the City of Tumwater to finalize the relocation. We expect:
