San Juan County is exploring options to centralize government operations in an efficient and community-centered civic campus building located near the courthouse in Friday Harbor. A design team has developed a concept that was informed by the first public survey in March 2018, as well as discussions with county staff who would be providing services in the new building. A new building would consolidate the operations of nine county departments that are currently housed in five buildings. At the Aug. 21 county council meeting, the county’s contracted architect Miller Hull Partnership, LLP, performed an online presentation of a conceptual design for the building.

Community members can review the draft conceptual design information and provide input through a public survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SanJuanCounty2. The survey will be open until Sept. 5. Individual responses will be kept confidential.
