Meet ups in Olympia, WA

[LaurelM]

Hello! I am interested in hosting a series of meet-ups in Olympia, WA.  The first I would like to do is a picture update meet-up in downtown.  Olympia is revitalizing the downtown area, and there are tons of new businesses that can use our help! Did I mention that there are many coffee shops, bars, chocolate shops, cafes, and two gelato shops to explore along the way?  There is even a farmer's market every Saturday from 10-3 pm. In April, it is Thurs-Sun from 10 pm-3 pm. In addition, there are tons of art galleries, a dock, and a lake.  If anyone within a two hour drive is interested, then I want some input on the time that would work for people. There are also amazing woods and other places to explore in the city.  Let the discussion begin!

Sweet! Do you want to have a theme to each meet-up?  We can also begin with picture walks until more people are interested.

Ooh! Thanks! I didn't know that I shouldn't share my personal email that way. I'm new here. I'll try the PM way.

Thanks,

I, too, would like to meet up. Good times are many with me, as I currently am not employed.

Hi Kris! 

I am interested in participating and helping new businesses in downtown Olympia. I’m generally available on Fridays between 10am - 4pm. I have a fairly flexible schedule on other days too. Sounds fun!
