Big things are happening in Belfair — and your library is getting a fresh start.
The North Mason Timberland Library remodel is nearly done and coming in under budget. The library closed back in January for a full interior refresh — new paint, flooring, furniture, and a completely reimagined children’s area designed to be more welcoming for families. Timberland Regional Library reports the project is on track to reopen this spring, likely by May or June. In the meantime, hold pickups, printing, and a small browsing collection are still available at the Mason Transit Authority building off the roundabout on SR 3 (25250 SR 3, Belfair, Tue–Fri 10am–6pm).
Meanwhile, the North Mason Chamber of Commerce is setting up a brand-new visitor center at the Salmon Center near the Theler Wetlands — a beautiful spot that showcases exactly what makes North Mason special. The Chamber received $45,000 in funding this year to make it happen, and plans to have part-time staff there five days a week. If you haven’t visited the Salmon Center yet, you’ll have another great reason to soon.
