Draft Vision Statement:


Eatonville is a community with a thriving local economy. It embraces local and sustainable industry, cottage merchants, and tourism. Eatonville maintains its heritage of agriculture, forestry and fisheries industries. Eatonville grows within sustainable limits, maintains its small town feel, protects its natural environment, and develops a harmonious community. Eatonville concentrates its services within the town to support a regional rural economy. It provides an economic structure that supports all-income and senior housing, local employment opportunities, education, and a comprehensive transportation system.
