Because there won't be a city council meeting until next Tuesday, I'm not doing my typically typical "whats going on at City Hall this week" summary. Instead I'm going to drop a list here of beats I know that are out there to be covered by Olybloggers, but are currently uncovered. I do Olympia city hall and the local college soccer scene, Sarah does the local blog scene, and here are some others for you to consider. I've tried to make these as straight forward as possible. Meaning there are online sources to regularly check and summarize. But, you can be as imaginative as you want. Crime in Olympia Anything else out there?

Also what is happening at Saint Martins U, Evergreen, and SPSCC, including trustee/regent meetings.
Neighborhood reports.
Critiques of places to eat, shop, be entertained. Reviews of parks and outdoor spots. Consumer watchdog reports. There are all kinds of local subjects waiting for regular coverage.
Although many of us have sort of unofficially settled into beats, it isn't like we are assigned or anything. If five bloggers wanted to post about an Oly City Hall meeting, that would be great.
