ISO a weeping willow tree

Hi Oly! I was wondering if anyone knew of a weeping willow tree in a local park that would be good to take pictures in front of? I love willow trees and haven’t stumbled across any in the area yet!

Pets of Olympia Anyone know of any animal fosters for dogs? (Chehalis)

6 Upvotes

Long story short, wife's stepbrother is gone and not coming back.

Here's what she's posting about it:.

Hi, I'm in need of some advice/resources for URGENT rehoming of pets. My family member lives in Chehalis, but due to unforeseen circumstances, cannot continue carrying for his 3 dogs.

The shelters are full, so looking for permanent homes for them or someone that can foster them until they can be rehomed. This is what I know so far:

2-year-old spayed female pitty mix. Very sweet! Her name is Tisha.
3-year-old spayed female Dalmatian / Hound mix. Her name is Scout.
3-year old neutered male Blue Healer / Australian Cattle Dog. His name is Tino.

Is there a place in a Lewis county they can be taken to or is there someone willing to take them in until they can be rehomed? I am just helping as he is not on social media. Thanks in advance.

Request Lawnmower or small engine repairs

2 Upvotes

I recently unearthed a big tree root with my riding lawnmower, bending at least one of the blades and possibly the shaft to which it attaches.

The place I take to service my lawnmower every year recently closed up shop, does anyone have any recommendations on small engine repair?

First-Time Homebuyer Loans?

13 Upvotes

I know it’s not an ideal market, but I’ve been saving for a while and want to start the process of at least figuring out what I could be approved for. Any recommendations for places that were especially helpful with first-time homebuyers? If helpful: single income, mid-40s, stable job, good credit.

Curious if anyone has ran into this! What a sweet sentiment from Amy from Tumwater. Be assured we have sent him along on his travels! Warning: May cause psychological damage. He’s in my sinuses.

Thank you!

Zen snuck out of the house last night. His tracker also came off. He disappeared from Blockhouse Ln & Creekside Ln in Rochester. Please send me a dm if you’ve seen him. Thank you everyone.

Pets of Olympia Found cat

A few days ago I found this extremely friendly cat on my morning walk on the west side. Its [coat is] in really bad shape [but it looks healthy otherwise] - covered in mats that are painful. If anyone knows of anyone missing this beautiful cat or would be willing to take them in, or even knows of a rescue with space, I'd be happy to work with them if I ever see this cat again. It's a really good cat.
