About General Administration

Beginning October 1, General Administration (GA) became part of the new Washington Department of Enterprise Services (DES). All of General Administration’s services transferred to the new agency. The change was part of the consolidation of all or portions of five central-service agencies, including the departments of General Administration, Printing, Information Services, Personnel and the Office of Financial Management.

Many of General Administration’s employees are now located in the new agency’s headquarters at 1500 Jefferson Street, Olympia. However, several services – Fleet Operations, Surplus, Consolidated Mail Services, Visitor Services and Parking Services – will remain at their current locations.

An interim DES website, www.des.wa.gov was launched to act as a portal directing customers to existing websites while the permanent agency website is created.  Information about our programs and services will continue to be available on www.ga.wa.gov and may also be accessed through the DES site.
