## Resource

Thurston County’s got big changes ahead: the South Sound YMCA’s 40-year leader, Kyle Cronk, is stepping down at the end of 2026 as they build a massive new 80,000-square-foot facility in Lacey. Meanwhile, Homes First taps Chris Wells—former United Way head—as interim CEO to continue its housing mission. A tree crash caused a major power outage affecting 1,300 homes, while a fast-contained apartment fire in Tumwater claimed a cat’s life—no signs of foul play.
