Blackbird and Thurston County
Blackbird is associated with Thurston County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.
Blackbird by land and water
The Census records 0.74 square miles of water within Blackbird, or 2.7% of its total area. It is 2.1 percentage points higher than the 0.6% recorded for Thurston County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
