This is one of the sources I use most frequenly. And as you, the citizens of OlyBlog & her environs, oft remind me: what's not there is as important as what is. (I'll share a meditation on reliability versus validity of public data depending upon use and discourse some other time).
The Data Book is published every couple of years and contains summary and trend data for the gamut of public, state-gathered stats. It's got a decent download function for quick analyses. Merry Christmas

So 'way back in Olympia's pre-college town days I dimly recall either seeing this or hearing about a pawn shop downtown that had as a display window attraction the "Dancing Guinea Pigs." This consisted of sending out two guinea pigs at appointed times into a public cage with hot plates on the floor of the enclosure, causing the little creatures to "dance." Local animal cruelty preventers stepped in and stopped this form of entertainment. Can anyone out there enhance this story with additional facts?
