Hey y’all! Long time lurker here, I’m trying to help a friend of mine re-home a dog and we aren’t sure what to do. He is a sweet boy but is high energy and we aren’t able to give him the care he needs. If you’re willing to adopt or know how we should proceed then please reach out to me and I can provide you with his contact info

If what you need is some of the following on this lovely April third day:

LPs, shellac, a comfy chair, cassettes, reel to reel tapes, dvds, 8 tracks, various electronic things, and random delights.

No holds. First come, first yoinked.

OSD school board needs you!

Just received a quote for roughly 1000 for roof moss and gutter cleaning from a local company. Our two story and has moss growth but nothing super excessive. Is this typical pricing for these services in this area?

Hey Oly folks. I posted here about a week ago regarding "Who is sober and in recovery around here?" (Something like this). I'm playing with the idea of starting a meeting of my own in Olympia. It would be a Secular meeting, meaning no religion (or politics for that matter), no 12 steps or sponsors. I would hold a "topic meeting" in regards to sobriety/recovery. Complete abstinence from alcohol and other drugs would be the mission. Raise your hand if you're interested.

Thank you.

Looks like you have to register on Engage Olympia to take the survey, but you don't have to give them your real name if you don't want to.

I’m currently learning Spanish through Duolingo, but I’m realizing that without actual conversation practice, I’m not retaining as much as I’d like—especially when it comes to pronunciation and confidence speaking out loud.

I’m looking for a Spanish practice group in Olympia (or nearby) that meets in person for casual conversation. If something like that doesn’t exist, I’d love to connect with someone willing to meet several times a month for low-pressure Spanish conversation practice. As a thank-you, I’d happily treat you to lunch or coffee!

My level is beginner, but I’m committed and excited to grow. Let me know if you know of a group or would like to start something together.

¡Gracias!

Hi! I am taking my transfemme girlfriend to a fundraiser at my nonprofit later this month and need to go dress shopping. She's nervous about making a good impression, I know everyone is going to love her, and I want her to feel comfortable and confident. This will be a relatively casual breakfast affair, so it doesn't need to be fancy but she really likes retro/pin-up looks. She's 5'10" & wears ~18 We're new to the area and don't want to miss any hidden gems. Thanks!

I've got a bunch of vintage children's magazines I need to dispose of, and I'd hate to just send them to the recycling center. Anyone know of any school or organization in town that might be able to use them? (They're Cricket magazines, sort of a New Yorker for young readers.)

hi, psa post re: a scam call just now from PSE. they said my balance was overdue (not) and there was a disconnection notice for my account.

no caller id came up on cell phone. so please be careful.

Hey, this is probably pretty weird but I’m trying to find someone who lost there debit card over at the 24hr car wash on Martin way lacy. In the same parking lot as Big Foot Java. The 1st name is Shelby. About a week ago, ik if I lost my card I would want people to reach out so I’m trying to get this card back to Shelby, I checked facebook couldn’t find anyone with that name in this area. If you suspect that this is you, or someone you know please call Big Foot Java on Martin way. Give the last name correctly last 4 digits of the card and expiration date and color of the card. Thank you:) let try and find Shelby!!

Curious if anyone knows how the term started? I can’t find anything about it.

Long story short. I have lost over 300 pounds and I'm going in for my first skin removal surgery in the coming weeks. I used to be a 6XL and as I lost weight I never imagined in my life that I would get below a 2XL so I bought a bunch of 2XL band and nerd T-shirts. Now that I am getting to the end of my journey I'm wearing a regular large sized shirt.

I'm looking for someone who can help me down size these shirts so that I can still wear them.

I would gladly pay someone for this work. But I would also love to learn how to do this myself, so someone who would be willing to teach me would be even better.

Hey! Long story short, I live in a three bedroom apartment. One of my roommates is disabled but can still mostly pay bills with little issue, at least during the summer. The other roommate, on the other hand, just hasn't paid. Wasn't able to collect when they started, and then I lost my job and also couldn't pay.

Anywho, now back on my feet with nearly $2000 in past due (effing wintertime, man)! Just applied for assistance and past due forgiveness. I'm making pretty good money, but for a household of three it's still not great, especially with the roommate's disability income and the other roommate maybe, just maybe, only working a few hours under the table? I can't tell, and asking has also left me unsure. Does anyone know if it really takes months for bill assistance and forgiveness? And Alternatively, does anyone know of any agencies that could help knock a chunk of this past due off? Trying to save and get the hell out of here, and if I can even just get half of this past due knocked off, I'd be able to get it paid in a few months on top of current and new electric bills.

Anyone have experience receiving the PSE assistance? I've always heard from folks I know who've received it that it usually worked in their favor, though no one mentioned how long it took to get.

Anywho, any info or anecdotes are appreciated!

Does anyone know where i could drop off empty cardboard boxes ? is there any place out there currently in need..? kinda a weird question

I can’t find much info on maps

I saw a lot of movement at Jake’s today. Heard music playing.

Anyone else just feel like protesting at the capitol when they got the time? Like on the weekends or whatever? Lotta people in the state gotta drive but heck I've got 2-4 hours I can spare to be there on days off. Will be there on the 5th, but man, if we could all cycle in and out doing a good shout that'd be pretty fun. Idk, democracy and all that.

Hi! Looking for any recommendations for cleaners to do a one time move out clean and a rough estimate of cost for a 900 sf, 1 story house (duplex) :)

Ahh, major hair emergency! My stylist moved, and now I need a new hair bestie ASAP! Any recommendations? Bonus points if they love to chat about TV shows and the Seahawks! ✨💕

I need some help moving bigger furniture items and wanted to ask if y'all have any recommendations for movers. I'll be moving to Tacoma/Puyallup

Hey there this isn’t technically Olympia but very close, I was in the Walmart off of Galaxy Drive and a NFC tag in a bathroom tried to scan and open my CashApp. Trying to let some people know. It wouldn’t pop up again after I shut my phone down.

New to Olympia! Anyone know when OSD likes to release the next year's school calendar?
