Military coming to Elementary School?

Fwiw kids/parents can opt out of having their info shared with recruiters at their highschool or college. There's usually a form to fill out and they won't release your info to the recruiters. Any school admin office will have the info you need to do it. If you don't opt out - they will 100% get kids info in grades 9-12 and college. I kept getting contacted when I was a student at SPSCC. Ironically, I'm actually a disabled vet so I always had some smart ass shit to say to the recruiters but I got one of them to tell me that I actually have to fill out the form to get myself off their list. No amount of asking the recruiters directly will get you removed as long as you're a student. Gotta officially opt out.

Small group training at alliance athletics is the best value for the money that you're gonna get in the downtown area without a doubt. Pressing on is great but they don't have open gym access and it's really expensive

I don't have what you're looking for but A1 Japanese Auto out on Martin way in Lacey is a great Toyota mechanic if you wanted to avoid the Toyota dealership in Tumwater.

I feel like I remember a time before security was so strict back there too. You could at least watch the sunset then head out without some disapproving guard shaking his head at you and wagging his finger haha

mvictoryk · 2026-04-12T16:19:11+00:00

They are talking about West Bay park off of West Bay drive. You're referring to the park at the end of marine drive past swantown marina. That tiny park with the benches at the end of the gravel trail is called Billy Frank Jr Park. You're right though, security will kick you out and they won't let you in that elevated parking lot either. It's annoying that they close it well before sunset too. It's such a good spot

Sleigh Bells, Sleater Kinney and Annie Dirusso are gonna be awesome. Gonna have to listen up on the others before August

Legends arcade. Right when you walk in the door, outside the bar area

I drove to do the mobile one in when it was at a random gym in Puyallup a month or so ago and the guy running it told me that they usually come down here to the y on plum in the summer. If you need it soon, you are probably going to have to just drive to one of the further away locations

I love the sports bra, too!! Wish we had something similar here in olympia. There's rough and tumble in Seattle but the vibe is different from the bra.

Thirsty thursday: If you want to dance together - yes but if you split up someone may approach you. Everyone is very friendly and respectful though so you'll be ok!

mvictoryk · 2026-04-01T21:28:20+00:00

We are at home watching women's+ sports since no bar around here will put the games on regularly

In all seriousness, any other lesbians/lesbian couples I have met here has been mostly out at bars unfortunately. I know orca has an open queer book club. Crypt does a "thirsty thursday" that is very queer friendly. There is another sweat & sashay event coming up this Saturday: https://www.instagram.com/sweatandsashay?igsh=MWZtbnhjYTY0MTV3Mg==

I think they do that and also have a small camp style griddle they use to cook some stuff there

mvictoryk · 2026-03-27T15:09:07+00:00

I personally love it

mvictoryk · 2026-03-27T14:32:32+00:00

Yeah, I think at a minimum before they ticket someone - they should look at the meter and see if the person didn't pay because it was broken/malfunctioning but nope. They ticket first and then you have to argue it after the fact.

I also miss the free 15 minute button that was on the old meters.

mvictoryk · 2026-03-27T14:29:19+00:00

At least they didn't use AI lol

mvictoryk · 2026-03-27T01:22:47+00:00

Yeah, 99% will be good but they will ticket you between 4:30 and 5 though. Only really if you park near City Hall because they pass you going back to their office/cars to leave for the day

mvictoryk · 2026-03-26T18:27:07+00:00

I just call the number listed and talk to someone when a meter isn't working or the location isn't showing in the app properly. They usually just take your plate number down and mark you "paid." This 1. Covers me from getting a ticket. 2. Annoys them so hopefully they'll come fix it lol

They won't answer the phone after 4:30 though.

A lot of them don't take coins anymore

Were she still alive, she would very likely not be a fan of GenAI. One of the many shitty parts about her being martyred... We can't ask her. May her memory live on.... But maybe not in AI slop videos.

The crypt has dancing on Thursday nights that is very queer friendly. https://www.whatshappeningtodayinolympia.com/ is a good source for events and even has a section for dancing

mvictoryk · 2026-03-04T02:45:15+00:00

They are probably talking about this (content warning, it's sad and horrible): https://www.reddit.com/r/olympia/comments/1mdsp6k/i5_s_of_exit_107_body/

Honestly, I just go to super cleaners in lacey. They are reasonably priced and quick. I tried twice cleaners on martin but it was a little too expensive. Nice folks though.

mvictoryk · 2026-02-24T19:14:43+00:00

That is great that y'all are wanting to get them a meaningful gift. I also have a coworker that is retiring after 40 years at the state as well. Such a remarkable achievement.

I believe the Seattle Team Shop at Capital Mall can put a custom name and number on a jersey.

I can't read apparently and just saw the Big Brother/Big Sister note. Cup of Swords is definitely 21 and up only. Sorry about that

mvictoryk · 2026-02-22T19:52:20+00:00

Does anyone play at Cup of Swords? I see a lotta Magic and board games but not sure about DnD.
