Temporary fencing at the capitol campus in Olympia is coming down.
The State Department of Enterprise Services says the work is scheduled for Tuesday morning on the west campus.
Added security was first installed in Olympia in the wake of the siege on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. All 50 states fielded warnings from the FBI of threats to capitol buildings in the wake of that attack.
In late January, Gov. Jay Inslee announced that while the National Guard would be scaling back its presence at the state Capitol, WSP troopers and other security measures would remain for the foreseeable future. Up until mid-March the west campus of Olympia’s Capitol was a restricted area.
