“More hotel rooms will soon be available locally for visitors to the Nisqually Valley. Prairie Hotel is expanding and expects to open with more than twice its current capacity in less than two years.

Still in the conceptual phase, the new three-story building will sit near the building, which currently houses the Yelm Timberland Library, the offices of the Nisqually Valley News, and other businesses, as well as the Yelm Cinemas complex on Prairie Park property.

The hotel addition will also have a conference center suitable for weddings, receptions, and business meetings, said John Thompson, project manager for Prairie Park Associates,” quoting the Nisqually Valley News.
