Wow! What glorious weather for the past few days. While the weekend forecast doesn’t look quite as promising, I hope that you had a chance to get outside and enjoy all that Olympia and Thurston County has to offer. And, like all good Western Washington residents, I trust that you didn’t tuck those umbrellas and rain boots too far into the back of the closet. Grab them again for the weekend.
