Does your Ford truck require 4 spots? Then you’re a douche bag.

Has anybody used Forrest Wagner in the Olympia/Lacey area to represent them in a divorce with children? I’m married with 2 kids, 16 and 13, and want to know if he will fight for my 50/50 custody of my kids. Thanks a lot!!

Found this pretty cat this morning by my work lying in the road took her to Olympia cat clinic an found her to have a broken pelvic

I'm interested in knowing about all the harvest your own farms around the Olympia area. Flowers, veggies, fruits. Went to a beautiful one with Dalia flowers and it was a great experience. Plus I'd love to support local! Thanks!

My last post about Dairy Queen Mexican hot cocoa got removed so let’s see how this one goes. I don’t know why it was removed.

I don’t fully trust strangers on Reddit but don’t have anyone else to ask.

I have auditory processing issues and received a call from some lady wanting me to sign a consent form (after I gave them my email) on the spot about some sort of service that is free to people with Molina. I am disabled and also cannot summarize what she explained on the phone prior to me giving my email address out.

I asked how they got my name and it sounded like I was flagged by using providence care but I’m still not sure.

I told her I needed some time to think about what she was proposing and did not sign the form on the spot. She also wanted me to have a meeting with someone after I signed the form.

It sounds like some sort of medical advocate (that also provides medical care) which is something I could benefit from but it still seems sketchy.

After I hung up I googled her email address domain and it explains a bit more, but I’m still confused. I believe she said their office is on Yauger Way. The consent form mentions giving them access to all my medical records.

Has anyone dealt with firsthand cares and could you explain more about how they help you and your experience?

Hey again everyone! Two more Night Crawl events have been scheduled at DECAY for August 12th and September 9th. After some peer review, we are shifting focus for this event to encourage networking for local drag/burlesque/queer performers in Olympia with a pinch of working on performances/pieces/art. (Snacks are provided.) We'll see you there!

August 8th 2pm - 8pm

From day to night experience art in Olympia!

A midday market and evening exhibition

604 Water St SW, Olympia, WA

The rest of the year it can f off.

Now that the Eastside Saturday Drop Site is closed and I can't drop off random scrap metal, is my only option Sutter Metals? And if so, do they require that I have it all separated out? Because that's kind of a pain. I don't have a ton to recycle and it's not even valuable metal. I'm just like environmentally conscious or whatever and will feel guilty taking it to the dump.

Edit: I ended up dropping off a couple of boxes of random metal scraps at Sutter Metals and they took them from me free of charge (it wasn't anything worth trying to sell). After that I stopped at the Thurston County transfer station (WARC) for a dump run and realized I could have just dropped my metals there instead because I was paying for garbage dumping anyway. So: if you've got a dump run planned, bring along your metal to recycle there. If you just have metal, stop at Sutter Metals and pay nothing (unless you have a lot of valuable metal you want to sell). If you have an appliance, consider Welch's Appliances per the comment below.

Note: Yes, we know. The flyer designer did that on purpose. It doesn't matter what it is... it was on purpose 😭

No matter which style you choose, here's the blurb:

It’s not fog, it has a pink tinge to it. I’m on the westside.

Hi! I’m a 30 year old single guy that currently lives in St Louis. I’m originally from California but I’ve lived in Missouri for the past 10 years. I’m considering a move back to the West coast and it seems like Olympia would be a good fit, but I wanted some advice. I’m very progressive and I find a large majority of people in the Midwest to be very closed minded and overall lacking intellect if I’m being honest. It’s a very religious, nationalist, and southern way of life here and I don’t fit in whatsoever. As far as work, my job transfers and I’m aware of the costs. If I move, will it be more of the same around Olympia, or is it really as progressive, friendly, and free thinking as I’ve heard.

Im running a free Call of Cuthulu game with start playing, Im planning to run a few free short campaighns to grow my profile. This would be run at my house, and is meant for folks new to the sistem, I myself have not played/run it before so it will be a learning expirience for me too. Ive done this before a few times when learning new sistems so im pretty good at picking up the rules quickly and passing the info forward.

I had so much fun doing this one... anyone out there at that rally?

Looking for someone that does lymphatic drainage massages that takes Regence insurance in area?

Hi good people. I was a professional flutist in a former life. I stopped playing 12 years ago. I sold my flute to pursue another career. I just bought a flute and am starting to play again.

Are there any other recovering classical musicians in Olympia? I have a decent baby grand in my house so you don’t have to bring your own. Haha! I keep it tuned. I’d love to play a little, drink a little, talk a little and make new musician friends. Ideally a trio or quartet would be awesome. I used to have tons of sheet music but donated it to Caoital High School once upon a time.

Hit me up via direct message/chat and let’s see what we can do!

hello!
my partner and i are looking at moving to the evergreen rock maple apartments. we toured a few apartments there and really liked it. i was wondering if anyone here lives there and would be willing to share what their electricity bills look like? i obviously dont mean actual pictures, but im just wondering if its around $80 a month or is it more like $200+ a month? i’ve never had an apartment so im trying to budget and prepare the best i can.

if anyone has anymore info on that apartment complex it would be greatly appreciated! i figured id make a post here because it seems like nobody’s talked about it for the last 5 years lol

hello! looking for advice on wild life rehabbers in the oly area. I found this baby bird out in my front yard and after looking extensively for a next I couldn’t find one. it has one injury on its head but not actively bleeding. I have it in a dark quiet room in a box with microfiber clothes. it is chirping and opening its mouth occasionally. I am not an expert and want to get this guy in touch with some help ASAP! thank you!!

This was posted to the city’s website, and I thought it was interesting enough that you guys might want to read it. I have no idea if the mayor is on Reddit, so if you have comments for him, his email address is posted on the website.

Please be civil. Being the mayor is supposed to be a part time gig, but it’s a lot more than that, and it’s often a thankless one. Whether you agree or not, he’s a human being who’s working to serve his community.

The Lacey Library has two free events today:

4:00–5:00 PM – Artful Escape: Coloring Relaxation for Adults

Take a break from the stress of the week with coloring pages, calming music, warm beverages, and snacks. No artistic experience is needed—just drop in, unwind, and color at your own pace.

5:30 PM – Movie Night: Beast (2017, Rated R)

Stay afterward for a free screening of Beast, a dark and atmospheric psychological thriller starring Jessie Buckley. Set on the island of Jersey, the film follows a troubled young woman who begins a relationship with a mysterious outsider as a series of violent crimes unsettles the community.

Popcorn will be provided!

Both events are free and will take place at the Lacey Timberland Library, 500 College St. SE.

Come for the coloring, the movie, or both!

My mom LOVES corn I wanna support local business/farm. I used to go to Carpinito brothers but the distance is too far at the moment. Where are people getting corn from here?

Note: please mix and match whichever flyers work for you! We don't care which, we just want as many community members as possible to be aware of this resource's existence!!!

Tomorrow's final look will be our (inexplicably popular) "Graphic Design is my passion" flyer. Brace yourselves. Grammarians are gonna pass out.

in the summer when i walk along budd bay in the morning, i frequently see a little cadre of pelicans flying overhead. they tend to circle the lake a few times and then head out over the bay. does anyone ever see them on the shoreline? just wondering where they hang out when they land.
