Who, what, where, why and how! . . . and answers to all other questions.
We aim to be your local version of the Huffington Post. Sure, this is preposterous, but why not. Proof me wrong.
But seriously, we’re a network of local bloggers that care about this wonderful city and are sharing their passion and life with you.
Technically speaking,
the site is a Wordpress blog with a bunch of cool plugins and a custom theme designed by LIVELIFELOUD, of course. Our hosting is with MediaTemple, cause they rock.
A short history
It all started with Trixy and Mathias Eichler opening einmaleins in downtown Olympia in the late Summer of 2007. Mathias was wondering how he should advertise his new store. After talking to a lot of folks around town he realized he wasn’t alone with this problem, and he decided he would take matters into his own hands.
First Friday
was created in December of 2007 as a platform for all businesses and organizations in downtown Olympia to open their doors and welcome the community to taste what downtown has to offer.
After great response from community members and business owners, Mathias decided to extend the reach of this monthly event and create a greater platform that could facilitate as a voice and face for Downtown Olympia. The idea for a new Internet platform, EVERYDAY OLYMPIA was born.
If you’re interested in participating and contributing or advertising, send us an e-mail or swing by einmaleins, we’d love to get to know you.
