If you have lived in Western Washington for longer than one summer, you know that our “summer” is traditionally limited to mid-July through early September. (Although Mother Nature seems to reserve some gorgeous sunshine for the first few days back to school.) As a result, your neighbors flock to outdoor concerts during the summer months. You can find great outdoor entertainment throughout Olympia.
