In 2025, the Washington State Department of Agriculture awarded Lewis County a grant to enhance the Friendlyville area at the SWW Fairgrounds. The project will include grading and paving the existing space to improve functionality and accessibility, particularly for individuals with ADA needs. These improvements may also trigger stormwater management or other regulatory requirements, which will be addressed during design. Once completed, the area will serve as a versatile venue for shows, events, and a wide range of agricultural activities. Engineering and design work will deliver a permit-ready plan, complete with bid-ready documents for future construction.
