Grays Harbor County Treasurer

I am your current Grays Harbor County Treasurer and a lifelong resident of Grays Harbor. I was appointed by the County Commissioners to fill the vacancy following the former treasurer’s retirement. With nearly nine years of experience as Chief Deputy Treasurer, I am arguably the most qualified person to assume the role. During my tenure, I worked closely with the former treasurer gaining extensive knowledge of every aspect of the treasurer’s office. I can assure you that experience matters. My paramount focus is TRUST. As custodian of all county funds, acting as the bank for the county and the districts, my role must be executed in a non-partisan manner. With a commitment to impartiality, I have gained the trust and respect of school district business managers, fire district chiefs and secretaries, and county department personnel. I also prepare financial reports for the annual state audit. When the state implemented a new banking and revenue schedule, I was the only chief deputy in the state to complete it correctly. Another year, I received a Leadership and Service Award for exemplary teamwork and outstanding dedication. Along with my devoted staff, I look forward to continuing a trajectory of growth and success.

As a former two term Grays Harbor County Commissioner, Wes Cormier helped oversee county operations, set policy, and pass balanced budgets that served the residents of Grays Harbor. During his time in office, he worked directly on financial oversight, budget planning, and responsible stewardship of your public dollars. Cormier’s years of experience includes proposing, reviewing and approving multi-million dollar county budgets, evaluating department funding requests, overseeing public expenditures, and helping to ensure the county remained financially accountable to the public. During his eight years, he worked closely with elected officials, department heads, and staff to maintain essential public services while emphasizing fiscal responsibility and transparency. Before serving as County Commissioner, Cormier worked as a Senior Real Estate Appraiser, giving him a depth of knowledge of property valuation and the levy system. Experience that is relevant to the position of County Treasurer. During his time as Commissioner, Cormier was always a pragmatic decision maker with a focus on working families, local businesses, and the community. If elected, he will continue emphasizing accountability, integrity, and protecting the interests of Grays Harbor residents.
