The Washington State Department of Agriculture’s headquarters building in Olympia reopened to the public Monday. WSDA is working with the other state agency tenants of the Natural Resources Building located at 1111 Washington Street, as well as the building’s owner, the Department of Enterprise Services, to manage public access.

Only the building’s first-floor lobby will be open to visitors. WSDA said all visitors must sign in through the automated system called “iLobby.” Those wishing to visit WSDA’s offices will be escorted by an agency employee. WSDA will soon announce the schedule for reopening the agency’s other public facilities around the state.

WSDA closed all state facilities to the public on March 25th, 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
