Samples can be incomplete or overlap; do not add them to calculate community totals. Confirm the actual parcel, original permit, additions and recorded map before relying on a date or size.

The useful details
What changes from one home to the next?
This profile follows a county recorded-name search group. A search label is a useful lead, not a certified plat, phase or association boundary.
What the records show
The county research keeps 6 recorded-name groups separate. “SCENIC SHORES DIV 2” has 62 county records with a year built from 1972–2007, median 1993; sampled residential lots have a 0.23-acre median (63 observations); “SCENIC SHORES” has 36 county records with a year built from 1975–2025, median 1993; sampled residential lots have a 0.35-acre median (37 observations). These assessor samples help compare building eras, but do not establish the first or last home in a subdivision or the permit history of an individual address. 3 additional groups appear in the table below.
The sampled county records include LINDSAY RD SE, SE SCENIC SHORES DR, SE WEST SHORE DR and 1 more street names in Unincorporated Thurston County. These are sampled records, not a mapped neighborhood boundary.
