I have a concrete slab walkway, and some of the slabs have settled unevenly over the past couple of decades. Has anyone had experience with a local business who does lifting of concrete slabs? In my situation, I would need lifting to make them even, rather than sanding the top.

PSE Will Cut Power Rather Than Invest In Infrastructure

It's gonna take a class-action lawsuit and/or legislation to get PSE to finally do the right thing.

I walked out of Rainy Day and stumbled into Photosynthesis; it’s a synthesizer shop in downtown Oly in between Rainy Day and Orca Books.

I’m not exaggerating that walking into it felt like a dream. Radio, the co-owner, has set up 3 stations with headphones where people can try a variety of Korg keyboard-based synths, and 2 stations of modular including Doepfer, Make Noise and others.

I’ve been running a synth club at Capital High School for 3 years, but this feels like a necessary gathering place for the community in Oly. During COVID I got into modular after being a rock musician my whole life, and I only have one Seattle friend who I can chat about synths with. It’s hard for us to make time to get together and he has a way bigger budget than I do as a teacher!

Please check it out if you can, and I look forward to meeting other people in Oly who are into synths for their myriad of weirdnesses.

Any good natural areas to go rip RC Cars around

What are your favorite (1-2ish hour away) scenic drives or destination from Olympia/Lacey area?

Why is Olympia's real estate inventory more expensive than in major cities like Chicago or even to some extent Atlanta?

We're looking at the possibility of building one of the City's pre-approved ADU plans — a small, 850sq.ft., one-story structure. If we were to hire a contractor today, about how much would such a project cost? (Not counting permitting fees or utility hookups, and assuming a flat, buildable lot — just the cost of actually building the little house.) And of that (I know: very, very rough) estimated cost, about how much is materials, vs. labor and profit?

Looking for a co-ed or women's softball team to join and play with this spring (if it's not too late 😬). I played softball most of my adolescent years and have been looking to get back into it as an adult. New to the area so just putting out some feelers. I'm free to play Sunday-Tues. Other days possible after 7pm.

i do not mean dog parks. i just mean dog-friendly areas where the dog can be at a safe distance and observe people. trying to teach my rescue that the world exists and that it isn’t scary(:

asking so i don’t bring my dog to a cafe and find out he’s not ready for that yet. so far he does good on walks etc but i want to start acclimating him to grocery stores, busy sidewalks, etc

Sorry for the once again late post but we weren't sure if this event would even take place until last minute.

Prism is going to enchant us all with her beats and we're gonna get real funky on the dance floor at Fusion on Columbia downtown.

All are welcome, kid friendly and fun for all.

$10-15 suggested donation but we won't turn anyone away otherwise!

Drove by it every day and always made me happy.

Hello. Maybe a niche post but….anyone know of any therapists in Olympia that specialize in eating disorders? (I’m an adult and this has been a long term thing). I’ve sought treatment before, but I haven't had insurance for a couple years, so it’s been a while. I just became insured again recently. I thought I could tough it out, but that’s not really working anymore. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I’m having a hard time finding anything. I have Kaiser insurance btw.

Looking for a nice Mothers' day buffet in Olympia. The closer to downtown, the better but I would appreciate any and all suggestions!

Any of the movie theaters in the area have - bar/alcohol?

Hello friends. I’m hoping to find suggestions for a good shoyu based ramen. I usually go to federal way and have I Love Ramen but we’re sick here and don’t feel like driving that far. Thanks in advance!

I am in desperate need to consume honeycomb. I've checked several stores and the farmer's market, but no dice.

Where is a good place to take my best friend to meet singles. She is 30, into anime and video games, reads, adventurous (spontaneous day trips), and pretty much one of the most caring people I know. She’s tried the apps but no one is serious for real. Even tried giving an old crush a chance and he fumbled the ball. I really want her to meet someone great, she’s so ready! She has her own place and full time career. She just wants a partner. I’m from here but I have always been in relationship and don’t really know where would be a good place to mingle or meet someone other than the bars but if your from here you know how that goes. Do you guys know of anywhere or maybe even events where single people frequent? Or at least a mixture of people?

This girl has the biggest heart and really deserves to meet someone great! Feel free to message or just leave it below.. TIA

Look. A lot of hair salons in the area are good for basic haircuts, but when it comes to trendy haircuts like butterfly cuts, jellyfish cuts etc they seem to just be really choppy and not so appealing. Any recommendations to places that can do good layering and know what i would be talking about when i ask for a wolf cut?

Hello, I’ve lived close to Olympia for years and have always wondered what the drag scene is in Oly as I feel like I never hear about any shows but its the capital so there has to be some scene somewhere right?

Finally able to look at buying a home but this market is rough. Anyone else buy recently and have advice??

Edit: THANK YOU! I read through everything and am really touched you all took the time to reply. 🥲❤️

It's been a few years since I last had a check up. Can anyone recommend a great doctor in the area?

My absolute fav pizza is wood-fired pizza from Stone Creek Pizza. The Marilyn, to be specific. Are there any other wood- fired pizza places around here that you love?

Is there a map of where there are generally food trucks around here? I know the downtown Oly locations but I am wondering what else is out there.

My sister in law lost her family pup to old age. He was a big part of their family. I wanted to get a custom headstone made to mark the burial site. Anyone have any suggestions for places that could do this? I'd prefer to support a physical store. My back up plan is any of several online options.

The crew at Fungi Perfecti is organizing their workplace with Liuna 252.

Management hired a legendary union busting law firm to destroy their workers efforts to be heard.

Please spread the word and consider boycotting all Fungi Perfecti and Paul Stamens related products until their workers are allowed to organize without impediment.

Hi all, my partner and I are ready to add a pet to our family and we’re wondering if anyone has recommendations or positive experiences with dogs rescues they’d like to share. Anywhere in the state or into Oregon is fine, we are already aware of a consistently checking Tacoma humane society as well as joint animal services. Looking outside of those options has been tricky, it seems surprisingly often we’ll discover a rescue and look into them only to find some concerning behaviors (neutering extremely early, kenneling dogs in terrible conditions, etc…). We are experienced owners of high energy breeds, but would be first time rescuers. Thanks!

I’m not super picky. Not looking for a specific kind just want soup!

Hey anyone run the half or full marathon??

I signed up for the full marathon this year and I'm curious about what time to show up to get a parking spot/where to park?

Are there pacers available for slow runners? Like 12+ minute miles

Thanks!

Hi!

I'm a nonbinary femme person in Oly who finally has health insurance, and I was wondering if anyone knows of where I can pursue electrolysis/hair removal that accepts insurance? I'm not even sure what to google to figure it out, I'm incredibly new to having insurance :')

Thank you!
