It occurs to me that Lacey really needs a daily newspaper. I know that the Olympian seems to be a Lacey centric newspaper, but it is called the Olympian, not the Suburban or Shopper's Daily News. I'm getting this sense that those in Lacey are trying to have too much influence over what goes on in Olympia. I don't get it, but that's what it seems like. I don't feel it necessary to tell people in Seattle what to do, but those in Lacey seem to want to have their say about Olympia. If they had their very own newspaper maybe the can keep their noses in their own business and not worry so much about Olympia. It is either that or maybe things are just so dull in Lacey they really need Olympia to go on about.

Submitted by The Fire Inside on Fri, 12/08/2006 - 2:55am.I Googled "Lacey, WA" and this was the second picture:
Also, if the estimates hold out that Lacey's population will be north of 100,000 in the coming decades, they probably will have their own paper.
Nice train..
Submitted by bubbaz (not verified) on Fri, 12/08/2006 - 3:08am.Certainly a Lacey highlight..
Postcard material even..
That station alone will probably bring in about 50,000 train station afficianatos..
Score one for you..
RE: "they probably will have their own paper..."
Here, they can keep this..
We wont be needing it anymore..

Submitted by youarealldevo on Fri, 12/08/2006 - 4:58am.Of course, Lacey also has many military families living off base. For this reason Lacey has a larger number of, ahem, non-whites.
Though Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater are so close they can easily be considered a single metropolitan area, for those who strive to be, ahem, inclusive.
They are certainly tied environmentally by issues such as water.
The above concept of city exclusivity in the same immediate region smacks of gated communities and fear of the other, IMOHO.
High up on google for Lacey, bike rally. Sure is dead there. I hear crickets.
What are we talking here? High School Football rivalry? My city can kick your cities ass?
I dont give a damn about Lacey
Submitted by bubbaz (not verified) on Fri, 12/08/2006 - 10:42am.Because Lacey is not bike friendly..
Or pedestrian friendly for that matter..
The people who are infatuated with Lacey should start Laceyblog..
There they can talk about water issues, traffic, and the goings on at Fred Meyer..
PS: Im not (ahem) inclusive..
Only when I feel inspired would I consider it..
And dumpy Lacey does not inspire me..
Id like to "gate" off all of their trolls and traffic actually..

Submitted by stevenl on Thu, 12/14/2006 - 8:17am.More Lacey Serials
Submitted by stevenl on Fri, 12/15/2006 - 9:42am.In the mid-1980s Lacey had a weekly called The Advocate, featuring many contributions from members of the Evergreen community. On the other side of the political fence was Liberty City Press which ran from ca1983-1989 and then became Impact News Magazine.
Some others of note: A monthly called Flag 'n gun (1994-1995), a quarterly from St. Martins called The Martian (1914), and my favorite for all of you correctional employees who have to perform cavity searches, Probe, the 1990s periodical from the Washington Correctional Association. That last title eventually changed to the more bland sounding Connections.
