BLS today welcomes the historic railroad stop of Tenino as its newest local licensing partner. The Thurston County community with about 200 businesses is named for a Coastal Salish phrase for "meeting place."
Citizens and commerce have been meeting in Tenino since the pioneer days. In the late 1800s, Tenino became an important Northern Pacific railroad stop near a sandstone quarry. Tenino sandstone transported by rail provided materials for the masonry on many buildings at the Washington State Capitol.
Tenino's neighbor communities Centralia, Lacey, Olympia, Tumwater, and Yelm are also among BLS's 103 city partners.
All aboard, Tenino!
