What is Everyday Olympia all about?
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.
Everything is still in its infancy; the Web site is handcoded, and
we working hard to make the site known and to create a positive
face for the beautiful area that is downtown Olympia.
if you're interested in participating and contributing or advertising,

or swing by einmaleins,
we'd love to get to know you.
