Thank You, Yelm!
What a night! The Yelm Police Department wants to send a huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for 2026 City of Yelm National Night Out and helped make the evening such a great celebration of community and connection.
A special shoutout to our incredible law enforcement and emergency response partners who came out to connect with our community: Washington State Patrol, Thurston County Sheriff and SWAT. We’re grateful for the work you do every day to keep our community safe, and for taking the time to spend an evening with the people you serve.
We also want to recognize the organizations and outreach teams who helped make the night meaningful and engaging: Standing Room Only, Yelm's Police Advisory Commission, and Thurston County Emergency Management. Your commitment to building relationships and strengthening our community does not go unnoticed.
And, of course, National Night Out wouldn’t be nearly as much fun without some amazing local sponsors! Thank you to Tim's Pharmacy & Gift Shop, Steele Barrel BBQ Company, Grocery Outlet, and Kona Ice of Yelm for helping keep our community fed, fueled, and happy.
Most importantly, thank you to YOU—our Yelm community. National Night Out is about building relationships, getting to know one another, and reminding ourselves that strong communities are built together.
We’re proud to serve Yelm, and we’re even prouder to be part of this community.
