Thrifty Thurston Lists the 2016 Major Festivals and Events around Olympia and Thurston County

0 Shares

One of my favorite things about living in Thurston County is the endless opportunities to gather together with friends and neighbors, celebrating our region, history and diversity. It’s inevitable that I bump into people I know, no matter what event I attend. It’s that small town feel in a bigger city that makes living here so unique.
