With the Holidays fast approaching the City of Olympia is giving the community an early Christmas present!

FREE parking will be available in downtown on State Avenue next to the Intercity Transit Station through the month of December.

The City is still putting the finishing touches on the lot, striping it and adding a fence. But come Black Friday we will have a glorious parking lots free to use by everyone coming downtown for the Holidays - brilliant, thanks, wonderful!

Hello and HAPPY Thanksgiving - or not.

We were driving past the store a couple of hours ago and saw that someone broke one of our shop windows.f&%!*ing f#$%^@!!

Today was supposed to be the last day of rest for me and my family before the big Holiday Shopping stretch and instead of enjoying that turkey, I'm trying hard, very hard to hold myself under control and not lash out in rage, or curling up in a corner and crying and wondering when I should buy that ticket back to Germany.

Seriously, this stupid vandalism got to stop in Downtown.

I am so, so pissed right now.

If anyone knows anything, please let me know...

It's here!

Attention everyone!

We’re looking into creating an all inclusive, extensive list of every organization and institution that is in some way involved in Downtown Olympia.

Here is what we’re looking for and why:
Downtown is of great interest to a lot of people and many emotions, many stories many investments have been made and are being made into this great spot on this earth.

We don’t have all the answers, but in the true spirit of community involvement and “open-source” collaboration, we want to bring everyone together, to share stories, to learn from each other and to find a common way ahead.

So, we want to get together with people from the ODA, the PBIA, the EDC, Olyblog and The Olympian, Friends of the Waterfront and Friends of the Library… etc.

Visit us on olyFORUMS to help us complete this list as fast as possible, so we can all get together very soon.

Thanks for your input!
