On Tuesday night, the Olympia city council will consider settling their lawsuit with All American Water over the water rights associated with the old Tumwater Brewery property. Looks like everyone gets a bit of what they want, the cities get the water rights while the private company gets half of that water back in a seperate agreement. Check out the rest and comment over here.

I recently started thumbing through Shanna Stevenson's Olympia Area Place Names (1986). It is a fun read, although I noticed she left out the former name of
Mud Bay, which was, according to legend, "Shitpoke Flats." I note in Shanna's book that bodies of water seem to be the most likely candidates for geographic name
changes. Anyway, I'll share some of the former and current place names from her book for you OlyBloggerz:
