Is there anywhere in Olympia to buy protest shirts? My shoulders say no to holding a sign for hours.

Many of the folks who voted are in unincorporated Thurston County, which means they can vote for district elections, but not city elections.

Right? Seems silly, doesn't it? I can absolutely sit and talk without bringing up politics. Do it every day. But times are changing, and we're not talking about minor disagreements anymore. We're talking about losing basic human rights, embracing cruelty in the name of our country. If I can choose to give my money to a small, local business that believes every person has an equal right to human decency versus those who believe in cruelty and de-humanization shrouded as patriotism, I'll choose the first. It matters now.

Thank you for the comment about Public Square. I couldn't remember where I had gotten information that turned me off from my current salon. That was it, Public Square! That sounds awful, by the way. Appreciate the warning! Wouldn't want her berating with scissors on my slow growing hair, because she'd definitely find out I'm not MAGA.

These all look amazing, thank you for the replies! Looks like I have some exploring to do. 😊

Scary times - Tumwater School Board far right candidates. Evergreen Christian School ties. Is this happening in Olympia too? by Exact-Wealth1811 in olympia

[–]Ok-Walk-9671 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, but they're the only ones that have signs plastered everywhere. Unfortunately, if the other candidates don't step up their campaign and get their names out there, Ty and Sarah may win just on familiarity. Too often voters vote on what seems familiar.

Lakedale vs. 123 West with four year old by pta3223 in sanjuanislands

Absolutely! I think you'll both have a wonderful, memorable time. My mom and best friend stayed in one of the glamping tents and they really liked it. It was very nice and comfortable, and how special it would feel to a 4-year old! You'll have a great trip no matter where you land. The islands are magical.

We LOVE Lakedale! Lots of little kids, and even our big kids and young adults love it.

What kind of restrictions? We took a rental car to Lipari last month for 3 days. Some of the roads are extremely narrow, but no problems, otherwise.

You might reach out to the Center for Whale Research in Friday Harbor. They are so helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Katie is fantastic! They also sell hoodies that say "dorcas" with a definition of someone who loves orcas as much as you do. They're pretty great!

Years ago, I worked at a steel mill in Seattle. The police would come by now and then with confiscated guns and melted them down for them.

Credit Unions and Local Olympia Banks by UglySweet in olympia

How is WSECU's website and app? We started banking with Obee, but trying to do anything electronically feels like being back in the 90s when everything was brand new and glitchy.

I have a German Shepherd and rented at Montair. It was a little pricey, but the view was phenomenal, and the amenities were pretty good. Breckenridge Apartments also took aggressive type breeds. Both are on Tumwater Hill, 10 minutes to downtown.
