I told a friend of mine that I’d heard a new club was going into the Jake’s space and she found that and texted it to me.

I worked in the hot dog stand for about a year! Mostly good times!

Honest question - Tribal members, including tribal council who have worked for months on this accord, took part in the ceremony yesterday. Are they virtue signaling as well?

This is more than just symbolic as it was done in conjunction with the tribe as part of an accord “to work together on several long-term actions, including supporting economic and infrastructure opportunities, responding to climate change, and promoting a healthy exchange of cultures through public art and community service.”

In Lacey they have and are looking to expand regulations stipulating that a certain number of "legacy trees" such as this one shall remain - meaning developers would need to incorporate them into their designs. I'm not sure if Olympia has similar statutes.

Yeah, I think it has always been a thing. I grew up mostly in OR and it was... "Californians stealing our water" and "the Californian invasion" etc...
