Hey downtown business owners!
ExperienceWA, the official site for Washington State Tourism has the option of listing your business for free in their database and on their site. This is a great opportunity for business owners to generate traffic to their website and of course create awareness of their existence. Especially since under the “olympia – shopping” tab there are currently only 5 business listed, with only 2 of them actually being located in Downtown.
Rising from the Dead, two spaces that have been unoccupied and gaping holes in our downtown are seeing movement.
The Volcano has the story on the rebirth of the Reef and rumors have it that Pints and Quarts is opening a location in the old Otto’s space.
Meanwhile Whittle closed it’s downtown storefront to focus on bringing more toy to stores across Western Washington and beyond. Check their website for details.
‘Belleza’ will soon be taking over the old Capital Footwear location. All we have to go on at this time, is the sign in the window… which reads: “Featuring clothing, shoes, and accessories by Eileen Fisher, Flax, Not Your Daughter’s Jeans, Dansko, Sofft, Wolky, Fidji, Willow Sweaters, and more!” We’ll let you know when they open their doors!
‘Creative Dye Works’ opened up in downtown Olympia earlier this month. The shop does custom screen printing and features tye dye and imported clothing, posters, wall tapestries, band t-shirts, jewelry, soy candles, and more. Creative Dye Works moved up here from Centralia to snag some better business, and so far it’s working! I’m really excited about the screen printing. They can do up to six colors! The tapestries are beautiful and the dresses are lovely. I suggest you check this out! Welcome to the neighborhood! Keep Reading »

There’s a new donut shop in Olympia, and its unlike any donut shop I’ve ever seen… it’s actually interesting, colorful, and fun inside and they have a ton of things to choose from, including ‘combo meals’.
