Silver Hawk is a 300 lot, single family residential subdivision located on 338 acres off of Marvin Road, approximately 3.25 acres north of Interstate 5 at the Hawks Prairie interchange. Construction of the Silver Hawk Water System began in 2007 with the drilling of the well.
The Group A water supply system plan includes hydraulic analysis, source and storage capacity analysis, water right analysis and a comprehensive system design analysis. The land use for the Silver Hawk water supply has two different zoning classifications. Thurston County changed the original zoning classification of Rural Residential (RR1/1) to its current classification of Rural Residential Resource (RRR1/5) during land use review of the project. According to a court ruling, the subdivision was vested under the original zoning at Rural Residential (RR1/1). Future land use will be restricted to rural densities of one unit per five (5) acres.
The Group A water supply system will not expand beyond the 300 equivalent residential units (ERUs) in the development and will not affect future planning considerations.
The Plat of Silver Hawk was recorded with the Thurston County Auditor’s office on April 28, 2016. This development features stunning homes on large, wooded private lots.

Olympia resident Steve Hatton is the picture of fitness – an extreme endurance athlete for more than 10 years, he’s a two-time Ironman World Championship triathlete. Competing at that level requires a strong will, and a strong heart. But even the most fine-tuned hearts need help sometimes.
A fateful moment - It started as the most normal day: One afternoon in December 2012, Steve left work for lunch to go for a run near his home. But something was wrong. “Fifteen minutes in, according to my GPS watch, I just stopped moving,” Steve says. “I fell off the road and into the ditch about a mile and a half from home, and no one was around to see what happened.” Steve was extremely lucky that day. A trained EMT, driving home after visiting his mother, saw Steve’s feet – the only part of him visible. He stopped, began CPR and called 9-1-1. Steve was brought to Providence St. Peter Hospital, whose cardiac program consistently beats the national benchmark for prompt heart attack treatment by more than 50 percent and rank among the top 10 percent of hospitals nationwide in heart attack treatment. But Steve has no recollection of any of that. He just remembers waking up in the Critical Care Unit, and the kind care and support he and his wife received there. And then, finally, going home.
