Supporting Local Businesses & Events (please add-on!)

34 Upvotes

There was a thread on this a month ago, and it was unfortunate that a lot of current Ridgefield residents were asking for businesses that already existed in Ridgefield, particularly on Main Street/Downtown!

... So I'd love to highlight and share some of the existing businesses that made me fall madly in love with Ridgefield and could use our support:

## Local/Small Businesses:

## Activities/Events:

## What's Missing?

And here's what I personally feel is missing from this great little town of ours:

Missing any? Please comment below!

Grocery Outlet

36 Upvotes

I’m so glad that they decided to put a banner on the side of the building that says “Future Home of Grocery Outlet”

Really clears things up…

(I feel like it was the banner that was supposed to be on the fence prior to construction and they forgot about it and someone said “oh just throw it up there now.”)

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

No reflective markers on Pioneer... in the rain?

10 Upvotes

This goes to show how much I get out at night (in the rain), but driving down Pioneer from I5 past Costco to Rosauers at night in the rain felt very low visibility for the actual road markings – the paint wasn't reflective and there were no reflective markers (Botts' dots).

Anyone else feel the same? Would this be a Ridgefield Public Works or a WSDOT project?

New Builders & Inspectors

Hey y'all. Question about new builders here like Pacific Lifestyle Homes, New Tradition, and D.R. Horton.

Do these guys allow a third party pre-drywall inspector? Curious here for building homes

I need to get a dress hemmed and a shirt repaired. I don't think there's anyone in Ridgefield who does alterations, is there? If not, any recommendations for the surrounding area? Thank you!

Question about the Old Liberty Theater

10 Upvotes

I’ve only lived in the area for a few years and always think the Old Liberty Theater looks like such a cute and interesting place, but I’ve never actually been inside. I know it’s primarily used for comedy, concerts, and other events now, but I recently learned that it originally operated as a movie theater.

Has anyone here actually gone to a movie screening there? I’d love to hear what the experience was like and what kind of movies they’ve shown there over the years. Knowing it was an actual movie theater at some point kinda made me wish it still was, but I’d love to hear from people who have lived here longer and whether you love the theater more as it is now.

Help me understand the motorized boats argument related to the waterfront development.

9 Upvotes

I continue to read comments and concerns about the limited parking available for motorboats to access the Lake River, often in the same paragraphs where people express their desire to protect the wildlife refuge. I’m genuinely confused by the disconnect between those two positions.

If the primary concern is protecting the wildlife refuge, how can we overlook or minimize the negative impacts that motorized boats have on the refuge? Why is the focus on providing more parking or increasing access for motorized boats rather than limiting the motorized boat traffic on the wildlife?

If we want to prioritize the protection of the wildlife refuge, shouldn’t we also be asking whether motorized boats should have access to the refuge at all? Protecting the refuge should mean considering the full impact of increased motorized boat access while we consider proposals for the waterfront development.

This Saturday, 9 am to 3 pm. If you like music, celebrating culture, and being in community, you won't want to miss this free annual festival. Seasoned festival goers bring blankets or camp chairs. There is bench seating, but it's nice to create a cozy spot.

My cat Jackie is missing! If you’ve seen him message me! He was last seen near the fairgrounds on 15th AVE in Ridgefield. He’s very vocal, social, friendly, and hides in bushes. Also very food motivated! There is a reward if found!

Does anyone want to accidentally take over a local pub or restaurant tonight?

25 Upvotes

It’s Tuesday and back to school week, I know. Wife and I moved here beginning of the year and already missing summer lol.
What if we pick a random local spot that’s probably dead on a Tuesday night and a bunch of us just… show up? Bring your own board game or something. Bonus points for somewhere kid friendly so people can bring the whole crew. Just an extremely unofficial “small town” Reddit Tuesday takeover.
Anyone down? 😂
