Success stories
DES delivers core services that allow state government to serve the people of Washington. Last year, we built a “fantastic” new home for two agencies that needed to move quickly—and saved them 22% in rent.
The DES mission is “strengthening the business of government for a sustainable and just future.” The agency is doing just that by making it easier for state employees to drive electric vehicles when conducting official state business, and our work was noted by a national association.
What's new
Olympia — The Department of Enterprise Services (DES) is pleased to announce that the newest building on the historic West Capitol Campus is the recipient of a United States Green Building Council (USGBC) award.
The state seal of President George Washington has been an iconic symbol of the General Administration Building since its installation in 1956, when the building was constructed.
A refreshed main menu for the DES website is the start of many improvements to come.
Initiatives
Legislative Campus Modernization, or LCM, is a multi-year project to address legislative space needs and critical issues with three historical buildings on the Capitol Campus in Olympia.
We're working on improving equity in public spending to create more opportunities for Washington businesses, which strengthens our communities.
