Olympia Tattoo Co.
Tattoo shop
๐Ÿซค I had a beautiful tattoo that was 13 yrs old and faded, so I returned to the same artist to have it re-inked and brightened up.

Harlequin Productions
Non-profit organization
๐Ÿ‘ Love this theater, my only problem is I wish it were truly a local professional theater. Seems most of the actors come from Seattle which is fine, but disappointing. Rehearsals are even held in the Seattle area at least sometimes which deters some great local talent even more.

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ This place is awesome! Perfect for toddlers on a hot day. Feels like being at a real stream, without any of the danger! Thereโ€™s even bathrooms nearby, and a security guard who walks the perimeter. The way itโ€™s landscaped, you really donโ€™t feel like youโ€™re in the middle of the city. And right next do...

The Abigail Stuart House - Woman's Club Of Olympia
Wedding venue
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ We rented the lower portion of this property for a celebration of life for my mother in law. The upstairs is not accessible and we had a large group, many who were her age (88) or older. This area was easily accessible and large enough for folks to move through even when needing assistance or walker...
