Olympia, WA — Today, Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland (WA-10) announced $250,000 in federal funding that is being used for safety and accessibility improvements for the City of Olympia’s Armory Redevelopment Project. “The Armory Redevelopment Project is an important investment in the arts and community engagement”, said Strickland. “I am proud to secure federal funding for this project, and to help support creativity and community programming for Olympia and the rest of the South Sound.” This funding was used to acquire and install an elevator as part of the first phase in transforming the old Olympia Armory into a creative arts and community campus and support Olympia’s artistic, collaborative, and entrepreneurial spirit. This award is one of the FY26 Community Project Funding (CPF) grants Congresswoman Strickland secured. Read more about these projects here. ### 119th Congress Congress
