In case you missed it. http://www.theolympian.com/101/story/50769.html From the Olympian: christian hillLACEY - Outdoors retailer Cabela's will announce this morning that it intends to build a 185,000-square-foot showroom in Hawks Prairie, City Manager Greg Cuoio said. The announcement that Cabela's will submit a development application ends months of negotiations between the Nebraska-based company and the property owner, Hawks Prairie LLC, on a project that is projected to create more than 600 full-time-equivalent jobs, draw at least 1.8 million out-of-state tourists into Thurston County each year and funnel $5.4 million in tax revenue into state, county and city coffers annually. Any thoughts or responses to this? I realize it isn't in Olympia but it is neighboring and is going to affect traffic etc.

Good for Lacey
Submitted by OlyCop on Fri, 11/17/2006 - 11:22am.Olympia will be a ghost town in the future. Take a look at what happened to Bremerton after Siverdale grew up. Or look at Aberdeen and Hoquiam. That's in Oly's future unless the City Council changes how it does business.
I know that is what many of you want, and you may get your wish. Remember, it takes those sales tax dollars to keep things afloat in Olytown. No money, say goodbye to the farmers market, parks, etc.
We will be shopping at Cabelas. And already do most of our shopping in Lacey. We would shop more in Olympia, but there is more in Lacey.

Yup

Wasn't there a post recently that Lacey kicked ass financially during the Halloween holiday, and Oly was just a yawn?
I guess we will get a taste of how bad (or good) the future will be for Oly after the Christmas buying season.

I have to agree with you CS
Submitted by OlyCop on Sat, 11/18/2006 - 2:26pm.Businesses need to cut it on their own. I'm still pissed at the amount of tax dollars that have gone into the two sports stadiums and we are looking at another one.
