Last weekend was busy, no doubt. Between Spring Arts Walk, Procession of the Species, Dragon Boat Festival, and opening day of trout fishing there was no shortage of activities for Olympia residents. I thought that we would get a breather for a few weeks but this weekend is shaping up to be gorgeous weather with wonderful activities all around Thurston County.
Since the thermometer shows weather suitable for swimsuits, check out the open hours for downtown Olympia’s Heritage Fountain.
