Pattison Lake Management District and Pattison Lake Association: two organizations
The Pattison Lake Management District (PLMD) is part of Thurston County government. The PLMD Steering Committee works with Thurston Department of Environmental Health to plan for and manage Pattison Lake and is separate from the Pattison Lake Association (PLA).
The PLA is an independent, state registered federally recognized non-profit organization 501(c)(4). The PLA collaborates with the PLMD and assists in informing and educating the public regarding the work of the PLMD as well as social and other functions for the benefit of lake users.
