Hey all! There’s a possibility I might be headed into this area beneath Olympia and I’d love if you guys can give me some words of advice or tidbits about the town that you either really like, hate, or just have important things to know about the town. My wife and I have a newborn and would love to find someplace to rent like a townhome that’s safe / affordable (<$2750 / mo). Thank you all for your input 🙏

Has anybody else noticed that their City of Tumwater water bill is semi-regularly the exact same price, to the penny, as a previous bill? Sometimes it happens in back to back months. Sometimes it's separated by 2-3 months. But maybe 3 times a year it's the exact same price as previously, within a 3 month window. It's just weird. I wonder if they don't read the meters one month and randomly choose a recent month to repeat?

I see that the city has a recreational burn ban but the ruling was done to keep “clean air”.

Would using a smokeless fire such as a Smokeless Solo pit be okay?

Is this rule outdated?

2008 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited 181,807 miles Clean Title Runs great and drives with no issues Reliable daily driver with good gas mileage Very little paint chipping but looks great otherwise Consistent Maintenance with history available New Battery and recently taken into shop to get all fluids changed and tires rotated. Looking to sell ASAP, serious inquiries only

I know this is a HUGE long shot, but I'm desperate. I lost my wallet after fueling up at Fred Meyer in Tumwater. I think I set it on top of my car (like an idiot) when I was pumping the gas, and my ADHD brain just completely forgot it was there. I lost it today, 9/12/24 around 4:00 pm. It's bright pink leather. You can keep the cash, I just need my ID back. I had just got my EDL last month and I really don't want to spend the money to replace it already. Ugh, I feel sick. I checked with the employee at FM and walked the gas station lot. I also called Tumwater police in case some Good Samaritan dropped it off. It's a giant long shot but I have to try everything. Thanks in advance.

Hello, WA friends! I am a student at Pierce College's Dental Hygiene program and I am looking for my fall patients!

This quarter (September-December), I am looking for:

• patients who haven’t been to the dentist in a few years
• patients who haven't been to the dentist in several years
• patients who have never gotten a dental cleaning before
• patients that have previously received a “deep cleaning” or have been diagnosed with “gum disease”

If you aren't any of these types of patients and are interested in becoming a patient in our clinic, message me anyway! I can screen you to see if you're a good fit for a future quarter.

Patients will come in for a few Mondays, Tuesdays, or Thursdays throughout the quarter. Our prices are significantly reduced compared to private dental offices (around 80% cheaper!) and we even offer military discounts & Pierce College student discounts. Our clinic does accept Provider One & Apple Health Care insurance.

Message me if you are interested! (Note: please do NOT share any medical documents or detailed medical history, due to HIPAA law.)

Feel free to share!

Admins at NTPS have decided to ban phone usage ALL DAY, even including lunch time, please help us get rid of this rule

My land value from the assessor went up almost 30k what gives?

I'm looking for a studio for myself and I've been trying to find a good apartment/real estate services to rent in. Does anyone have any recommendation? I've talked to Fulcrum Real Estate Services.

Hi, new to the area. I've been exploring places to walk and wondered about Trosper Lake and Park. Drove near there today, but it looks like both the lake and the park are private?

I have decided to Honk every time I drive past it now.

Not sure why but it feels right. lol

Anybody else have any local Rituals you do when you pass a landmark?

the cute green streetlights at the Capital Corridor are new, right? I feel like they must be since I just noticed them in the last 48 hours, but I'm gonna feel real dumb if they've been there forever lol. They are mostly concentrated at the Capital Corridor where the construction was, but noticed a few up north on capital towards the valley...where other construction has been ongoing

I like them. I looked on the Tumwater website for info on if the other gray/older streetlights would be replaced, but didn't hear a single mention. It's a huge aesthetic improvement and I hope they do more, that's all

What is the development being built in the large lot next to Home Depot?

Is it hard to get a viewing spot for the 4th of July parade? Never been and want to take kids. Do you have to get a spot early in the morning?

Why is it when a certain ideological wing of our country gets their way they tell us to respect the decision but when they don’t, they ignore the decision altogether? https://www.thecentersquare.com/washington/article_022f77aa-2442-11ef-91f0-7bdcc9c71653.html

Hey everyone! I'm excited to share theYOLT.com, a new website dedicated to marketing local businesses in Yelm, Olympia, Lacey, and Tumwater.

What's in the works?

• Integrations with Facebook and Eventbrite events within our cities.
• Opportunities for small businesses to sponsor header and footer ad locations.

The page is still under development, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. We're also looking for interested small businesses to join us in this venture.

Thank you, and I look forward to your support and suggestions!

Management at Cadence Academy on Sleater Kinney keeps parents out of the loop by taking multiple children out of their classrooms for hours at a day to sit on the floor in the office and color because they will not limit kids due to short staff. Knowing parents pay hundreds of dollars a WEEK for their child to gain curriculum development as well as social and emotional skills. They consistently put teachers over ratio knowing it’s illegal. There is no support given to staff as they like to purposely turn their phones and walkies off making it difficult to get ahold of them when serious incidents occur. There has been multiple occasions where teachers call to report head injuries or fevers/throwing up and we can’t get ahold of them. There has been two teachers who have gotten wrongfully terminated because they defended themselves over a well known child who struggles with behavioral problems as serve as being psychically aggressive towards both teachers and other students. Both of these teachers would have to constantly defend themselves and the other students for the aggressive behavior and kept insisting for this child to be put on a behavioral plan but management refused. They are constantly making the staff do work they are too lazy to do. They are both known to lie and manipulate conversations discussed and when hr gets on their ass about mistakes THEY made they take it out on the teachers. An incident occurred where the head director gave a child a food he was allergic too and tried to blame the cook even though she was sent upstairs to do trainings and had no part with the lunch that was given out. They had a worker who hit her weed pen in the staff bathroom and let her get away with it. There was another worker who left a baby in the same diaper ALL DAY and again there was no write up or termination. There was a point in time where MULTIPLE teachers reported that a male teacher was taking pictures of the babies and posting them on his social media with inappropriate captions and sending them around on snapchat and not once did the director do anything until one of the teachers decided to take it into her own hands and call the police, the director then told parents the teacher left due to “family issues.” HR doesn’t give a shit about their employees either as they have been caught in a couple of lies. Both directors apparently cannot “deal” with harder kids as they ask some teachers to go resolve certain issues. PARENTS SPREAD THE WORD AND DO NOT ENROLL YOUR CHILD HERE!!
