On this Veterans Day, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the brave individuals who served in our nation’s Armed Forces, as well as the military families who support them. ❤️

Capitol Campus holds a special role in honoring Washington’s military history. Across our grounds, historic memorials stand in silent tribute to the generations of service members who answered the call of duty.

Our DES teams take pride in maintaining these sacred spaces year-round, ensuring that every veteran and visitor finds a peaceful place to reflect and remember. Today and every day, we thank our veterans for their service and sacrifice.

Honor isn’t just a feeling, it’s an action. 🌟

Behind every peaceful moment on Capitol Campus are teams working to ensure our state’s veterans memorials remain dignified, pristine, and enduring spaces of remembrance.

🤝 Korean War Memorial: detail work and refinishing to preserve every name etched in stone
🤝 WWII Memorial: carefully buffing and restoring the bronze figures to their original luster
🤝 Vietnam Veterans Memorial: enhancing surrounding landscaping and stonework for a quiet, reflective setting

Caring for these sacred spaces is one of the highest honors of our work. To every veteran and military family who visits these grounds, we do this for you. ❤️

A misspelling on the Capitol Campus Vietnam War Memorial has been corrected.

Private 1st Class Danny Cleon Barnes, who grew up on Vashon Island, was killed in 1967. A good neighbor noticed the error, and the state Department of Veterans Affairs confirmed it. After filling in the incorrect letters with grout that perfectly matches the monument's black granite, Quiring Monuments sandblasted a Y where the IE used to be. 🌟

Thinking of Danny and the sacrifices of all who served this . ❤️

Our recent contracting innovation is earning national recognition! 😄📋

Our Contracts and Procurement team received the 2026 NASCA Innovation in State Government Procurement Modernization Award for developing the Washington’s Bidder Contracting Guide. Our project was selected from 40 nominations across the nation!

Created in partnership with the Washington State Attorney General’s Office, the guide helps make state contracting clearer ✅, more consistent ✅, and more transparent for businesses and agencies ✅.

We’re grateful to support our partners, including Washington APEX Accelerator: “[DES’] leadership and team members have a commitment to continuous improvement leading to increased trust and confidence with the small businesses we serve. We can’t wait to see what’s next.”

Congratulations to the team for finding innovative ways to improve how Washington does business. 😁
