There is an incredible number of Olympia neighborhood associations with websites. Most of the big ones do, and they aren't simply online fliers or out of date websites, they're actual to goodness sites and most very well designed.

Surprisingly to me, one of them is mine, the Chambers Lake Basin association, which is pretty cool because it seems like it's a cross between a neighborhood association and a watershed council. I've been talking to people in the neighborhood about starting the last few years, and so it's cool that someone went ahead and did it. I'm thinking of going to the meeting next week.
