Four banks robbed in a month, and a concern was that the woman responsible might escalate even further, more crime and possibly more violence. This morning a 22 year old woman was arrested on the west side of Olympia. Sounds like our police force did an excellent job.

The woman out in D.C. who robbed four banks also turned out to be pretty young, a 19-year old college student. It appeared she was from a pretty affluent area, too.

Someone in Seattle recently told me that Olympia was "off the grid". Huh? The fact that we are on I-5 makes a huge difference crime wise. Besides, I think there is at least one computer in town, I swear I saw one.
