YELM, Wash., Sept. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LGI Homes, INC.

“We’re excited to announce the opening of Shelm Meadows, marking our return to Thurston County for the first time since 2019. This community holds special meaning for us, as it brings us back to the same county where our journey in Washington began with Evergreen Pointe in 2016, our very first community in the Puget Sound region and the foundation of our success here. Since then, both our homes and the market have evolved; however, our commitment remains unchanged: building high-quality homes at an affordable price. We look forward to helping families achieve their dream of homeownership at Shelm Meadows,” stated Zachary Pendrod, Vice President of Sales for Washington.
