Foreclosure in Thurston County
Thurston County (the Olympia/Lacey capital area) follows the statewide non-judicial process, with the sale typically held at the county courthouse. The county seat is Olympia, and Thurston County foreclosures follow Washington's statewide non-judicial process: the Notice of Trustee's Sale is recorded with the Thurston County Auditor in Olympia, and by law the sale can't happen sooner than 120 days after recording. Auctions are typically held at the Thurston County Courthouse in Olympia.
Wherever you are in the process, you have options — and usually more time than it feels like. You can reinstate up to 11 days before the sale, and you can sell right up until the sale itself. See the full Washington foreclosure timeline or all your options.
