At the American Planning Association’s (APA) annual conference in New Orleans on April 23, the APA
Sustainable Communities Division presented the Thurston Regional Planning Council a National Award of
Excellence for the Thurston Climate Adaptation Plan. The plan — adopted by TRPC’s council of
governments in January 2018 — includes 91 climate “adaptation” actions to help Thurston County and the
broader region prepare for and adjust to rising seas, stronger storms, deeper droughts, and other projected
climate impacts. The full plan, as well as its companion board game and resilience toolkit, are online at
