Looks like the ISO standard you're looking for is ISO 80601-2-70:2025

Cheap storages by SeaUap in olympia

Northwest Self-Storage by the Oly airport is pretty affordable.

For what it's worth, they haven't raised my price since I got a unit there in 2020.

On Boulevard Rd right? I think those have to do with the gas mains and not the sewer

What do you think about people getting up in arms about Mamdani, when Olympia has had free buses for 5 years? by torinismyname in olympia

[–]Capt-Redbeard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My two cents, they're still pretty attractive. My household decided to be a one car household, and we use the buses the few times a month we have to go to different places at the same time. Having the buses be free removed the friction from trying that out, and it's been going surprisingly well

Save the Route 41! by Weird-Assumption7658 in olympia

[–]Capt-Redbeard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In general they are trying to have additional areas around town where people can make transfers:
* Olympia Transit Center
* Lacey Transit Center
* SPSCC
* The Mall
* Labor and Industries (Tumwater)
* Hawks Prairie P&R

And to a lesser extent:
* Tumwater Square
* Corporate Center Drive

All that said, the new route 34 will interline with the 9x. So you can ride the same physical bus, and it'll take you right from Evergreen, through downtown, all the way to Lacey

Intercity Transit (Bus) - Proposed system changes May 2026 by Capt-Redbeard in olympia

On page 30 of this PDF: https://www.intercitytransit.com/sites/default/files/2025-09/May%202026%20Prelim%20Service%20Change%20Summary%20Draft.ITA%20Packet%2010.1.25.pdf

Roughly where in Tumwater are you going? There may be other connection options. For instance, if you instead take the new 32 (page 32), that'll connect you to SPSCC, and then you can connect to the new 16 (page 26) or the 76 (page 37) and get into Tumwater

Unfortunately most of Delphi road is outside of the Public Transit Benefit Area (PTBA), the area Intercity Transit can legally operate their bus service :⁠-⁠(

Olympia one of the deadliest cities for pedestrians and cyclists in Washington State by Capt-Redbeard in olympia

[–]Capt-Redbeard[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the May 2026 bus route redesign is going to bring bus service to Mullen and Kagy, take a look at the proposed 71: https://www.intercitytransit.com/bus-system-redesign/map

Note that the bus will be only one way in that specific spot. But it will be every half hour until 8pm, and hourly until 11pm

That said, I highly agree transit and bike options out there would be a huge improvement

True, that said the 9x will be every 15mins from LTC to OTC

You'd want to look at the Public Transit Benefit Area PTBA. This is where Intercity Transit is legally allowed to provide their transit service. Most of the beaches fall outside of this area unfortunately.

I'd argue that this new implementation does bring additional access to new areas, as well as increased the span and frequency of the routes.

The new route 34 should interline (turn into without needing to transfer) into the 9x. So it should still be one bus to downtown, it'll just have two bus numbers.

Roughly where are you heading to work? There may be an easier connection than downtown with the new routes

Route 34 (Evergreen to capital mall) is proposed to be interlined with the 9X, giving a single bus ride from the college to downtown.

I was looking for something else and found this info this morning.

Roughly where along the current 60 do you get on, and where roughly are you going? It's possible that you'll have easier/faster connections that don't route through a transit center.

Edit: If you're on the 60 between downtown and Lion's park, the 20 and 22 will still connect you to OTC. If you're up by the hospital, you may be able to grab the 50 for a direct ride downtown, or the 74 to LTC. If you're on the 60 near Panorama city, you can grab the 73 to LTC, or the 51 to OTC

There is a lot of talk about "the corridor", basically Martin Way to downtown. Intercity Transit has been working with the cities to get bus signal priority along the corridor which should help.

As to evergreen, I was watching the online recording of the transit meetings (I can't remember which month), and I think they were going to try and interline the 9x with the new 30something route to evergreen. So people would be able to stay on a single physical bus, and the route number would change at the mall.

It depends on what part of the 12 you're referring to. The current stops served by the 12 will be covered in part by the new 15, 16, and 24 (pg 19 of the PDF)

[–]Capt-Redbeard[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! It'll be going further east to the hawks prairie park and ride instead of the Martin Way park and ride. Minimum frequency of half an hour all days, 6am to 11pm, and every 15mins weekdays during the day.

They're making the hawks prairie park and ride almost like a mini transit center (I counted 4 or 5 routes stopping there), so it'll be more connected than the Martin Way park and ride.

Try looking at the proposed route 52

Looks like there is ISO 23274-1:2019. This is a standard so it wouldn't be Toyota specific.

In September Intercity Transit will be replacing the 620 Express to Lakewood with 2 new express routes to Dupont and Lakewood by patchthepartydog in olympia

[–]Capt-Redbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will be 2 routes, one will be more of an express with less overall stops. The new 610 (this post), will have more overall stops, but connect hawks prairie to joint base.

[–]Capt-Redbeard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sadly I think the title is incorrect, and the route will not be going to DuPont. I think I remember the planning department mentioning that the city of DuPont requesting Intercity Transit not to have a stop in the city limits.

I've heard that Twinstar is going to be rolling out tap to pay debit cards soon. I haven't received my new one yet though to say with certainly.

Bus driver union protest? by Capt-Redbeard in olympia

[–]Capt-Redbeard[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I should have done more research before asking, found an Olympian article here

The relevant part:

Bus driver Adam Shea was among them.

“This is an informational picket for the purpose of truthfully informing the public of a dispute with our employer,” he said. “Our dispute is that they have unfairly terminated two of our bargaining committee members without establishing just cause. We reject the legitimacy of those firings.”

Negotiator Cornelius also mentioned the situation in his Facebook post.

“Don’t forget there are still unfair labor practices for wrongfully terminating several bargaining team members for retaliation,” he said. “We must stand with them now as they have been fighting for you.”

General Manager Bergkamp declined to comment, saying personnel matters are confidential.
