looks like alot...
Submitted by chad360 on Thu, 03/20/2008 - 3:01pm....of folks need the services provided by the system here in Olympia, and I imagine folks all over need help as well.
What may work in Olympia is a "campus for life" where support services can centralize...
...I think that would be a smart move "by the City" to look at incorporating additional development around City Hall, and gather folks together in the midst of our city.
Let there be no distinction between the "city hall" and the "city hospice", as well as none between public service and social service.
Thanks for posting the info.
