    "And the people north of the Columbia River, decided they wanted to split away, into their own territory..." (Best decision ever)

    Amazing that it was constructed between 1922 and 1928 and completed after six years of construction. That's a LOT of building for 6 years. And to think it then took 2 years to fix a couple of damaged columns. That's one third of the total build time. For a couple columns. With power tools and heavy duty construction equipment.

      Most state capitals are gorgeous. Many of them are very different from each other but most are amazing. This is my home state, and the city where I currently live.

      It's really not. They'd just cleaned it at the time so it looked good for a few weeks. It's a brown ugly mess now to match the rest of the city.

    Olympia is very pretty; people go to Sacramento and ask, "Why did you make this hot, ugly city your capital?"

      @elheadkickio 3 года назад

      lol, yeah right. Watch a walk-through video of downtown Olympia since you clearly have never been there. Anyone who thinks that's not a hideous disaster is either insane, or lying.

    Many of the parents in Olympia ignore traffic laws with their children. Many of these parents are civil servants. Youth in Washington State deserve law-abiding, ethical and conscientious civil servants. Their future depends upon it. Let's double traffic fines in capital cities and see law-abiding streets and adults appear, on Olympia. What do you think? Should traffic legislation be taken seriously in Washington's capital city? If it isn't, could the future suffer from the resulting "Avalanche of Karma?"

      It depends on what the laws are. Some are rather trivial and insignificant I would say no big deal. If something is more major than that's another story.

      This is a great idea since people drive like narcissist maniacs here. Unfortunately the dominant political ideology involves removing penalties for committing crimes rather than making them harsher. It's a filthy crime-ridden hellhole, so that doesn't appear to have worked, but they'll still double down on it.
