Thank you for making our little town look so charming. 1 small correction, geoduck is pronounced “gooey duck”. It’s an amazing clam that in native to the area and the Pacific Northwest.
Lived in Olympia in the early 80’s , went to Saints Martin College and since then never stopped visiting the City. One of my best place in US, the only problem I have is the increase of the homeless people, drugs and crime.The town needs to address those issues before it becomes out of control.
IDK if I've told you this before, but your videos actually inspired me to start visiting cities in California and the Pacific Northwest that aren't typically on the tourist trail, that I've never considered visiting. I probably wouldn't do this for other parts of the country, but being just a few hours away by car, I feel I can allow myself to visit these kinds of places. Also, when you're addicted to travel and have been stationary for a while, you start digging around in your own backyard and develop a greater appreciation for what you have under your nose.
Home prices and rental prices are insanely high here. While the downtown area looks good in this video, it has a very big homeless and drug addict population. Downtown was dying before Corona and it's not going to get much better. Really look at some other vids and do some research before coming out here. Many folks are talking about leaving due to the high housing costs and homeless. The city council is doing all it can to destroy downtown.
What you don't see in this video are the massive amounts of homeless people. It's gotten really bad here. Lot's of open drug use, needles and poop downtown, plus crime. We had a lot of fires in the homeless camps this summer. Downtown was dying before Corona and it's not getting any better.
I grew up on the west side of Olympia before Capitol High School existed, as a resident of Conger St. We had apple trees, plum trees, cherry trees, nuts, and blackberries on the vine. I don't recognize what has been done in that town. My grandfather grew up in Percival Cove and at 10 years old was rowing a boat to Squaxin Island to spend a season with a tribe. Trees grew big back then.
Just kinda nicely glossed over the homeless. Im 27 and Ive had over 4 brushes with death thanks to the local personality. Stay off fourth after 5pm and know how to read hobo code. 3 traingles means you've gone too far.
Don't move to Olympia! The housing situation is crazy, there are so few homes available and too many people trying to buy them driving up prices to ridiculous levels. Homelessness though is a big issue across the whole country, not just Olympia.
Such a beautiful city with so much history. It's a crying shame the homeless give it such a black eye. The city really needs to do something immediately!.. P .S. Those masks are so reflective of a dystopian world. Seeing them is so depressing.
I lived in Olympia for 40 years before finally deciding to leave. It use to be an awesome place to live but now the best and most fun things to do are watching junkies shoot up and staring at all the tents full of drug addicts while the cops do absolutely nothing. The open drug dealing is pretty sweet too! It’s so cool how they made drug dealing and possession “not an arrestable offense”. Is that the same as legal? Oh well it’s working out totally awesome for sure! Last time I was there a few months ago I saw a drugged out fat naked lady walk out of the woods into the street! That was pretty fun. The coolest thing is talking to all my friends and family who are still stuck there talk about having their homes and cars broken into or being harassed by junkies while they are out shopping. That’s pretty fun too! At least if you live there your son will be taught in school that he can “transition” into a girl any time he wants! Ya THAT’S not confusing to him at all! He was just having a blast hearing that! Even though the broad daylight public shootings are up about 100X what they were about 5 years ago, Olympia is so charming once you get past the smell of drug addicts and LIBERALS!
Don't forget all the lovely homelessen campments, boarded up business and graffiti. Also be ready for petty theft and watching drug use in the street. The effort to film this totally feel good video must have been immense as it is hard not to see the garbage dumpo Olympia has become.
Lived in Olympia when I was a teenager, many happy memories there.. Have to go back one day..
Thank you for making our little town look so charming. 1 small correction, geoduck is pronounced “gooey duck”. It’s an amazing clam that in native to the area and the Pacific Northwest.
Thanks for that! Glad you enjoyed 😃 We can't wait to go back to the Pacific Northwest
Olympia is lovely 🥰 The local government needs to address the homeless and graffiti problems tho, it’s not a good look..
Love watching you guys from the UK, you have so much fun 😊

The murals are so fun and cute! The sunset was so beautiful. Thanks for sharing :)
They are! Loved the downtown Olympia, very walkable, so much art and coffee!
I love downtown Olympia!❤️
Wow that farmers market looks great. Thanks for showing this city. Woo woo that coffee shop😳!
All your videos are fantastic!
Took a day trip from Seattle to Olympia recently. Toured the same market! It was great.
Glad you like them! Wasn't that coffee shop insane?!
Mike’s vibe how is how I’m always trying to be
Update: now watching this video every Monday morning to kick off my vibe for the week, not joking 😂

Thank you so much! There’s so much to see in our own backyard, so much beauty in each state
I come from a small town in upstate NY, a couple hours north of Albany that is also known for bigfoot sightings. Whitehall NY.
U guys should've stop by at old skool pizzeria. Awesome place..

I live in Florida and have been wanting to move to Washington for awhile and have been wondering where to move too , I think y’all have me sold !
Enjoy! It's an awesome city, so much nature all around.

Be sure to do some research. This is a very nice feel good video but real Olympia has massive homeless encampments, filth, street drug use and crime
I thought you gave me every thing I needed. even new friends on the beach.
Great video. I'm considering moving to the NW from central California. Olympia is on the top on my list 👍
That's awesome! Olympia is such a cool town, lots to do and surrounded by so much water and trees!
@@RunTheAtlas Yes, I was stationed at Ft Lewis back in the early 90's but haven't been back since. I loved it up there

Not showing all the homeless camps all around, careful where you live!
Is this just bad in like the downtown area, or everywhere in Olympia?
Olympia sucks.
Would suggest please stop adding the upside down effect, really distracting and makes me want to leave the channel .
