Summer is the ideal time to spoil yourself. Bask in the sun, enjoy alfresco evening cookouts or simply stroll in the sunshine. Between barbecues, camping trips and lounging at the waterfront, make sure to swing by The Rolling Pin on Olympia’s West Side. There you’ll find culinary goods and services guaranteed to make every get-together, birthday party or outdoor celebration an occasion to remember all year long.
Shop The Rolling Pin’s Culinary Accessories Online or In Person
The Rolling Pin is your summer savior for all things foodie. Too hot to leave the house? Then head to their online store and fill a cart for in-person or curbside pickup. Kiddos underfoot and you’re anxious for school to start? Takea a break and treat yourself to a browse of The Rolling Pin’s amazing, locally produced items and eternally patient staff.
You can prep for either type of shopping trip by reading through their informative, helpful blog which showcases new products, upcoming sales and plenty of insider know-how.
Store manager Victoria Kantargis says staff loves adding new items. These can be introduced based on customer suggestions – which store staff then diligently researches – or their own legwork. “We almost always have fun new tools added to every order so we can check out the quality and utility of new items,” says Kantargis.
Back to school sales run from August 25 to September 21 so you can stock up for lunch-making doodads and weeknight dinner hacks. Cute but practical travel food containers and mugs are 20% off and inspiring cookbooks are 15% off to get things started.

Alas, the lazy days of summer don’t last and school is just around the corner. Once you’ve dusted off backpacks and picked up a few new portable lunch and snack transports, you’re good to go.
For students participating in one of the culinary programs at South Puget Sound Community College, Mercer brand items are 15% off at The Rolling Pin so you can one-stop-shop your classroom needs. This discount also runs from August 25 through September 21. “We worked with the SPSCC culinary program faculty to get the recommended supplies for classes,” says Kantargis. “Things like affordable, professional quality knives, knife storage, chef coats and pants, aprons, peelers, honing rods and other specialty tools.”
Foodie student, professional or just a cooking-show-superfan, have your knives professionally sharpened thanks to The Rolling Pin’s partnership with Maumasi Fire Arts. Monthly service runs approximately $2.50 per inch and you can find pertinent dates and availability online.
