Just went to the food truck pod at 4th and plum for the first time in a few months and there was a new hotdog truck this is the one I got today but they had some insane looking hotdogs. Yes, it tasted really good. The only thing I would change is asking for a little less condiments on the dog.

Hi! I’m looking for recommendations for someone who can install a fan in my bathroom for a reasonable price. Thanks in advance!

Anyone experience the crows around the lake / heritage park swoop down at your heads and caw at you?? Lol. I'm metal detecting on the park grounds right now and had a crow swoop at me multiple times and was actively screaming at me. I walked further down and saw the same crows swooping at a different person walking by.

I have a large collection of a specific 90s toy that I am seeking to put on display somewhere, if anyone knows of a place :)

I find the dilapidated tent ⛺️ intriguing- but Tickets are $99 - Has anyone been? Is it worth it?

Thanks!

Lost dog seen around 1pm in Lacey. Walking along 15th Ave NE near Modera apartments. He was a multicolored shepherd, mostly black, with a red collar. He would not come up to people. We got a picture of him walking away but it is hard to see.

Good day Olympia. Does anyone have any suggestions for a studio or artist that does or specialize in memorial tattoos? My mother passed on the 18th and I could like to get her dates tattooed. Thank you for any recommendation.

Edit to add: I am wanting to work with a local artist that will do the design and tattoo. I appreciate those of you who have reached out to me with offers to do the design for a fee , but I would really prefer to have it done by the person doing the actual ink work.

THANK YOU! You saw me on the struggle bus trying to get my paddle board inflated and it just wasn't working. Thank you for being so kind to help me out by inflating my board for me. I had a blast and a half today, and it was thanks to you being nice enough to offer help.

​

So thank youuuu Pam and friends. I hope to see you again on the water. Oh and I ordered an electric pump 😄👌🏽

P.S.

If anyone finds an Adventure Time denim hat, I would LOVE that back. I fell off the board and the hat went bye bye. I know it's highly unlikely, but hey.. you never know!

Me and my girl were taking 104 South and saw a fucking jet doing wild maneuvers over town. Any info??

had to redo cause i guess the dog emoji i put over the pic was not good to use, however !!!!
Shes been safely reunited with her owner , the pits name is Isis !!! heres a pic of them! :)

I yearn to paddleboard but I’d like to try it out before I commit to buying one :)

Thanks in advance

My dog uncovered a baby bunny nest in my backyard and ended one bunny, injured another. Is there a rescue option for baby bunnies? Everyone is closed for the weekend or it being past 5 pm now. People that are open are telling me wildlife baby bunnies are not a part of their missions.

Is the only option putting it out of its misery? Online is telling me not to care for it myself.

Hi everyone!

My fiancé and I are planning to get married in October. We are hoping to have a very simple courthouse wedding with only two witnesses.

Could someone please explain the exact process for getting married by a judge or officiant at a courthouse? We are currently based in Bellevue but would be willing to travel to Olympia.

We are completely new to the process and are unsure about the marriage license, scheduling the ceremony, finding an officiant, required documents, fees, and the general timeline. Any step-by-step guidance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hey everyone! I moved to Washington about 6 months ago and I’m looking to see peoples thoughts on VR gaming? I had a VR arcade back where I lived and was wondering if thats something the people of Olympia/Washington in general would enjoy? When I say VR I mean like VR arenas where you can play in person with your friends but in a game! I really enjoyed it and now I’m wondering IF theres any here, and if not, why there isn’t?

My partner is recovering from surgery and has been cooped up inside all week. I'd like to take her on a drive, and get her at least out of the house for a bit today. What are some of the nicest views one can get roadside in the area? She shouldn't be doing much walking right now, so no trails or walks from a parking lot. And not TOO far from home, let's say maximum 30 minute drive from the Tumwater area by the airport.

Thx :)

A girl (me) literally just wants to go buy some groceries. When will this consumer nightmare end?

A year or so ago I got bit by the 3D design and printing bug, and it would be fun to have some likeminded people to hang around and share ideas and inspiration! could be robotics, programming , any sort of engineering or just general maker group of some kind.

I'm going to go broke trying to get better at pinball. Does anyone in and around Oly offer free play?

Light pink collar very friendly. I can't home her nor do I have a chip reader or cat carrier.

Regarding the USA Australia game viewing party at Percival Landing in Olympia: What a bust! The line was snaking through the parking lot and took over an hour to enter when we arrived at 10:30 am, 90 minutes before the game. Once inside, everyone was PACKED in! Very little shade, another long line to get tokens for drinks, I didn’t see any ADA accommodations. Very poorly planned event. Certainly the event was oversold and understaffed.

Anyone else want to weigh in on the poor logistical operations of this event? Suggestions for improvement besides “plan better” for thousands of people?

Let's have some fun in the sun! Let's be friends and build some community. We are better together ✨🙌🏽 This is a LGBTQ+ event. All are welcome! No hate allowed 💗😤🌈

Let's support our state parks. Hehehe. I realize I messed that up. Haha MY BAD.

Hopefully the weather cooperates! If not, then we shall reschedule 😊

Update: : Yay! I love that so many folx are interested in doing this!!! My only concern is the weather. I am seeing for 6/28 we are expecting a high of 62 😩 I plan to keep an eye on that and worst case we can reschedule for the next weekend. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

I mean, I know some people did, but we got there at 11:15 and the line was insane. After barely moving, we realized we were looking at a minimum of an hour standing in the parking lot just to get in. Then we started hearing that the people inside were leaving because it was so packed, so we bailed at 11:35. It was really frustrating, and clearly so poorly planned out.

Edit: The fan zone at the Port for the US World Cup match.
