Ironically, Yelm is now home to the first Class A Water Reclamation Facility and distribution system in Washington state. The first permanent European-American settlers came in 1853 to join the Hudson's Bay Company sheep farmers who were already conducting business in the area. His daughter, Janet Harding, is the current Miss Washington for 2008 after winning the title of Miss Tahoma.

The word "Yelm" comes from the Coast Salish languages Salish word "shelm" which means "land of the dancing spirits" their interpretation of the moir effect of heat rising off the prairie. During the Great Depression, the Yelm Irrigation Company was bankrupted by high maintenance costs and an unstructured water distribution plan. The Yelm post office and school district (zip code 98597) serve the surrounding unincorporated Thurston County residential communities in the Bald Hills of Lake Lawrence and Clearwood.
