Are you shivering in this 80 degree weather? Personally, I start melting when the thermometer inches closer to 90 degrees so I’m happy to have a little “cold front” move through Western Washington. And, while no one likes a rainy day in August, I suspect that the majority of Thurston County residents will rejoice if raindrops falls as predicted this weekend. Regardless of your weekend plans, stay tuned to ThurstonTalk.com’s event calendar to get all the latest happenings on what’s going on around Olympia. Cheers!
